Does anyone make a 380 SWC?

Does anyone make a 380 Semi-wad cutter? Will they cycle in a Colt Mustang? I'm looking for one to plink with.

Thanks in advance,

Pete

Not that I'm aware of, but you can get a 95gr RN lead, Laser Cast, Meister and National Bullet company all make .380 RN.

How well does the mustang feed HP's? I've never had a problem with my makarov, suspect I could to SWC's, but I don't know if there's enough room on that small bullet to make the WC part robust enough.

don't know about bullets but lee makes a 105 grain swc mould that is suposed to be good in 9mm(it is 358 but can be sized down) since it is light enough should be ok in 380 if it will feed

I know that'd work in my Makarov, YMMV though.. I 've shot 115gr .355 XTP's outta my mak at 950fps or so.

That's up in the +P level for sure, so I wouldn't suggest running it through the colt
