I picked up a Ruger LCP last week after a little horse trading and almost bought some store bought ammo to go with it.
$36 for 50 rds seemed a little steep so I had to pass.
I have a mold for my Makarov that drops just a tad over 95gr. and a sizing die for .356.
The cast boolits drop at .365 but pass through the .356 sizing die with little trouble.
Any reason to buy another mold just for the 380?

I loaded a total of one round yesterday and shot it.
Found myself wanting to cup and turn away just in case.
4gr. of Unique behind it seemed pretty snappy but the fired case
and primer looked normal.

I wouldn't buy a mould for .380

Those little buggers are a serious PITA to lube

RCBS has a 93gr mould that will run you nuts. Lube groove is so small it gets wiped when passing thru the size die.

If ya do buy a mould, just ALOX em and save the effort

Sounds to me like arranngements need to be made. I'm a try and cipher through boxes via proxy today FD.

Shop is too packed for me to try entry right now.

I liquid Aloxed the Mak boolits before sizing through the 9mm sizer.
Kinda cool because sizing forced all the alox that was on the sides into
the lube groove.
