I had someone give me some boolits to try, they were small 38 cals. I played with them and found them to be great in a 380. They were a truncated cone about 105 grain Hi Tek coated and were fun to play with. It took me a while to find a source but in the end they were made from a NOE mould - well I added another mould to my collection. The NOE 358-105-TC is great for 380, can be used in 9mm and I am playing with it for light 38 special loads.
I too like the LEE 358-105-SWC. Very, very accurate in a Browning 1971 .380.
I have the Ranch Dog group buy, which became the LEE tl356-95 TC, and I heartily recommend it. It has worked really well in every one of my 380's, including a Walther PPK/s, and a Mauser HSc, as well as a Colt Mustang Pocketlite, a Browning BDA, a Browning 1910, a Ruger LCP, and my Kahr P-380. Get the Lee 6 banger or a 5 cavity NOE TL358-100-RF-BE2 5, make a lot of boolits, load 'em, shoot 'em and smile.
I always ran 125gn in my glock 42. I also run 168 through my sr9. Can't promise it's a good idea. But, I've been happily doing it for years.
