Accurate No. 5 for me, because I have a lot and it meters well.

Well, ended up buying a four cavity Lyman 356632 mold, with nutcracker handle. Works great in my Colt .380 MK IV Government.

Cast 600 Lyman 356632 bullets using my new-to-me four cavity mold. Surprisingly accurate in my little Colt .380 MK IV Government.
Ugh, thanks. Guess I need the Lyman 47th edition. Thanks for looking, appreciate it.
Does it have data for the .380 Auto using a Lyman 356632 bullet? That bullet mold didn't stay in production very long and I can’t find any loading data specifically for it. Thanks in advance.
Nope, I have not. That was one of my concerns about it.
Looking at the MP 358-640 mold for my Colt Government MK IV .380 pistol. Does anyone have any experience with it? Thanks in advance.
Just got a new-to-me Colt Government .380. Barrel slugs at .356 and looking at the Lee TL356-95-RF, but thinking I should size it to .357. Can anybody tell me what their as-cast diameter is? I’m...

Brownell’s has Unique in stock, according to their email I got today.
All good advice, but if you’re out with someone, all you need is a .22. Shoot your buddy in the leg and then run.
Bullseye is my number one choice. Clays is also good. Look at the thread I linked for more options.

Well, probably not anything Dillon customers don’t already know, I guess. Great customer service.

I’d sure like to see your results. I’ve got a Ruger Old Model Flattop with a 4 5/8” barrel that I just started to shoot again.

My first gun was a Remington 514, when I was 8, in 1963.

Take a look at the 2021 .45 ACP slow fire scores at this link. Sixty six shooters out 78 scored at least 150 out of a possible 200 (that’s your 75% threshold), one hand hold, at 50 yards. The...

Are you saying you don’t think it can be done?

Just an update. One month later and nothing from Lyman.

Yeah, looked at my RCBS .45 ACP and .44 Special sizing dies that have an obvious carbide ring. Then again, my RCBS .45 Colt carbide sizing does not.

I was given a set of Lyman reloading dies in .380 Auto and don't know if the sizing die is carbide or steel. The sizing die is marked "LYMAN .380 AUTO SIZE C86. Don't see an obvious carbide ring on...

So when I size my oversized cast bullets in the lube sizer, where’s the lead that got removed go? Not that it matters, but got nothing better to think about while dinner’s cooking.

I was hesitant to call Lyman due to all the complaints I’ve read about its customer service. But, just got off the phone and they’re sending me a couple replacements at no charge.
I have two...
