Recommend 380 ACP "Keith" mould

Have many components - Need mould to feed a pair of (1- blue and 1- SST) Walther PPK.

There is no Keith mould for the .380acp. I'm sure Elmer had either no opinion or a very low opinion of the pip squeak round. His designs were for revolvers. Small semiautos work best with round nose designs. You might check with Veral to see if he makes a mould for it in his LFN or other styles as they might feed.

I try not to load too many 380 rounds, I use the Berry bullets for the 380 I load. Seems like the little bullets would be a pain to cast and then run threw the lube/sizer.
But I do see the new Lyman cast bullet book gives several loads for the Lyman 356242 in 120grain RN for 9MM and 380 ACP. Pretty heavy bullet for the little gun but you could use one mold for both guns.

I just "closed the deal" and bought that Ranch Dog mould.  Thanks!

I think you'll be happy. Michael is a great guy to do business with, and his bullet designs flat out work!

I make cartridges that go "Bang!"  Whether that mould/bullet profile will repetitiously chamber in my semi-autos is to be determined.  Cast hardness will be about 12-14 BHN for air cooled lead.  I like the profile as it approaches a semi-wad cutter in a round nose style.
