Fyi, .380acp boolits

I thought i would share this, for you guys out there with 380's, who do not want to cast 2 tiny little boolits at a time. i bought a lee 358-105-swc mold (for 38 special) 6 cavity mold. i bought it for my wifes 38 special, also hopeing that they would work in my 380 as well. they do! i seated them @ 0.984"oal (std max.) and they functioned just fine. i absoloutly refused to cast 2 boolits at a time for this. if these did not work, i would have continued to buy plated bullets. but these will save me a ton of money. and since i usually use straight up w.w.'s, they should penetrate quite well. i hope this will help somebody else to save some money, without the p.i.a. of casting 2 at a time. you will have to buy a sizer die (0.356") as mine drop @ 0.360", to use these, but that is no big deal. happpy shooting!

Yeah, lots of people use both the 105g Lee and the 102g Lee. The second isn't offered anymore I don't believe. I personally stick with the 358242 90g boolit. But I do have some 105gs I need to shoot up. Both work well in my Bersa.

I love mine. I recently switched to the 6 cavity version too. Sure can make a lot in a short time. I seat mine at .955 and they feed flawlessly in my PPK/S. Also the most accurate boolit too.
Also love it in all my 9mm's.

I use an NEI 356109 TC from Walt's days. Works great.

What 380 do you have? Be sure it doesn't have a polygonal barrel.

If you get a good load for 38spl with that 105swc please post it. I tried several loads and could never get one that would keep them on an 8x11 target.

2.8 grains of Bullseye gives me superb, consistence accuracy with the Lee 105SWC boolit. You can load them hotter, but for what?
