.380 102grain boolit, bullseye powder?

[baldyPI]

Ok,

I've done a leetle boolit casting, but I'm still in the newbie category.


As we all know, the prices and availability of store bought bullets has become a major issue... as a result it's time for me to get serious about boolit castin'

I have a bersa .380 and i got the lee mold. The model escapes me for the moment, but I'm pretty sure there is only one lee mold for .380 caliber, and I'm also pretty sure it's supposed to cast 102 grain boolits...

I'm using wheelweights as my primary lead source, and anyway I'd like to know if someone can advise me on a load with bullseye powder for the 102 grain cast boolit?

Also, how is accuracy with the boolits vs fmj store bought?

3gr of Bullseye is what I used for 90-100gr Lead and Jacketed bullets. I also own the Bersa Thunder .380. Both shoot well and I can hit a 5" steel spinner plate at 20yds almost every shot, I blame me and not the gun for the misses =D

How would a SWC 105gr. for .38 sized down to .356 do in a Bersa .380?

3 grains of bullseye under a 100ish grain boolit gives me golf ball size groups out of a PPK at 10 yards all day long. The recoil is not bad either.

Yep, 3gr of Bullseye here as well. My P3AT likes that load a great deal. 3gr of Bullseye works well for me from 90gr boolits on up to 108gr or so.

I am not shooting Bullseye, I had Unique on hand, so that is what I am using. I am using the Lee 102 mold however, and my Hi-Point groups better with the ones I have cast and sized to 357 than with factory FMJ loads. My mold may be odd, but it is dropping boolits at 358+. I Pan lubed these and used a push through sizer, but now I finally have an older 450 lubrisizer I just got so I will be shooting more of them. Billy
