    Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook, 4th Edition

    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.

    Guy on<Defensive Forum>sez it's a 100 grain and .885 ol with 2.7 Bullseye or 2.9 of 231. Double check that. It's not in Lyman #48. THERE IS a 95 grain fmj in my book at .900 with 2.8 BE and 2.9 of 231 so that sounds safe to me.

    The mould chart shows it at 100 gr., so if data is lacking why not look at a similar weight of another brand, say the Lee 356-102-1R
