Anyone loading .380 ACP?
Out of all of the cartridges out there this seems to be the most expensive and hardest to get (not counting 22lr). Have been using Montana Gold 95gr jhp and aside from just looking pretty they shoot pretty good. Anyone else reloading this caliber?

I have loaded a few. All with 95 Grn hard cast lead. My gun doesn't like them very well and I'm waiting for a chance to get some jacketed rounds before trying it again.

I don't see the 95 grain Bayou bullets listed on their website. Are these their dry lube formula? Any problems with leading? I might try to get some if they are ever in stock. The montana gold are not cheap.

I have loaded some of the Berry's plated. Need to load some more, now that I think about it.

Hmm, that might be a way to get my wife into shooting color coordination. Anyone know of purple bullets?

If you find purple bullets, my reloading budget will probably double ;) Right now my wife is still searching for the perfect purple cammo range bag.suthdj wrote:SRO1911 wrote:I lied - ruh roh -
