These work well in all my 380's. They also sell reman 380's at a slightly cheaper price. I also load 380's but I find the load rather tedious to load and end up tearing the case mouth.
What a nice showing of 380's! Crazy good! If this thread would've been posted several months ago I would've thought "nice pistols ladies"...but wait...I've recently been bitten by the 380 bug! I now have a Glock 28 and a S&W Shield 380 EZ. Seems like most have opted for the Glock 42 instead of...
Years ago I had a Glock 26 and couldn't hit the target with it. Swore off Glocks and didn't look back until recently when I came across a 26 in the Cabela's gun library. I felt the challenge to try a 26 again. Bought it and have been to the range several times. What a nice shooter (Gen 3) this...
Just loaded 20 rounds using the #10 RCBS shell holder. If I pulled the handle down too far I could feel "something happening" to the case. Upon examination the smiley face was about to occur by seeing the beginning of damage to the case mouth. But if I took it easy and pulled up just after the...
My Lee #4 shellholder is the one that came with the 4 die set. I went out to the garage and put a case in it and there is some wiggle which makes me think it may be problematic.

CQB45ACP...I didn't get to your pic on page 2 until just now. That looks like the beginning phase of what's going on. A continued push down on the ram will produce a smile type cut. Thanks! And no apology needed! No insult detected.
GeoDudeFlorida...It's the Breechlock press that's supported front & rear. I've noticed Lee makes a cheaper version with just a rear single support. The ram has no measurable movement when I try to move it side to side or front to back.
I wish I was handy in posting pics. Envision the case mouth perfectly open and round. Then after a trip thru the Lee PTE die, there's a section, not quite a 1/4", that's slightly cut on both ends that's bent inwards that looks like a human smile.
I'll play around with the adjustment and add...
Been using my Lee Breechlock press for a number of years and just ventured into loading 380 Got everything dialed in and some of brass comes out of the powder through expanding die with a smiley face cut on the case mouth. The part that's cut folds over into the mouth. I've had this happen a...
