Greetings all!
I have been shooting and reloading using Lee mold 356402.
It is .356 TC 120 grain. I size them in Lee 356 sizing die on a single stage Lee press. I reload them in my Dillon 750 and shoot them all the time. Using Unique.
Want to expand my reloading to include 38 Special and 357 Magnum and 380 ACP.
Studying the Lyman Cast Bullet (boolit) Handbook I have seen the following.
A Lyman mold, which I do NOT own, #356242 gives data for 380acp and 38 special and 357 Magnum.
The mold is 120 Grain. Two of the three also show Unique.
I have the dies for 380acp 38spc 357mag.
So my questions are as follows.
1/ Can I use the Lee mold to cast the 120 grain boolits for the 380acp/357mag/38special. Same mass 120 grain.
as the loading data shows the Lyman boolit. Yes, different shape. Length. I get that.
2/ If I can, what about SIZING? Would I size the 357mag/38special to .357?
3/ How would the sizing work as the Lee molds casts .356
Do I make sense lol? I sure hope so.
Please let me know. I appreciate everyone and anyones help.
