Hey guys, looking for some data from Lee for the 105 SWC in the 380. PDF scan emailed to me would be prefered as I can always add it to my Load Book and its free of possible typos. However, any thing will help. Available suitable powders are BE and Unique. Thanks again.

Not trying to be a wise guy, but why not go to the various powder and bullet manufactuers sites and get up to date info? Lee just data mined all his info from those sources as I understand it.

Bret you may right. However, they don't list but one bullet with their data, which happens to not be any of mine.

I don't believe there is going to be that large of a difference in charges with current vs old data.

I just went to the Hogdon site and they list about a dozen loads with IMR, Hogdon and Winchester powders for 100gr 380 loads. That would be a good place to start.

Bret, the data was for jacketed boolits, so it was kinda a no go....

Not at all JD, use starting jacketed loads for your cast. The weight is similar, you just need a starting point. Jacketed or cast data doesn't matter when using cast. Now, I wouldn't suggest using warm cast loads with jacketed because the pressure are higher, but this way is okay.
