These could work great in 380 acp if you pushed them through a lee .356 sizer die first.

New too reloading... will these work as a light load for my Ruger LCR 38 special? Or would I experience excessive leading (probably not correct term). I'm looking to replicate Hornady's 90 grain "Lite load" for my wife.

These will work great for you in a revolver. They have some kind of coating on them that I believe is to prevent leading. It resembles moly but doesn't come off on your hands. I bought some from this seller but haven't loading any yet.



"Bear Creek Supply bullets (BCS) undergo a very unique coating application process that allows lead bullets to perform to their full potential. This coating is a strong, high-temperature polymer containing a mix of proprietary lubricants that is permanently bonded to the bullet and is not a simple tumble-on dry powder coating like that which is utilized for jacketed rifle bullet use. Because of the unique properties that makeup our coating, BCS bullets have the lowest bullet-to-bore friction of any projectiles available on the market today. This coating creates a hard shell that is chemically and physically bonded to the bullet and because of this, lead never touches the bore, it gets rid of human contact with lead during the loading process, and it eliminates leading in the barrel of the gun so the need for bore cleaning is practically gone."

I'll take (4) boxes if still available.

These are possibly for the 9x18 Makarov. .357 and .358 diameter might work for 9mm Makarov

They are for 38spl but might work in Makarov, it would be an interesting project to try loading.

Bear Creek Bullets don't lead, because of the coating they have on them.
