.380 ACP Load info needed

[Josephq00]

I just bought a 911. Have not had a chance to got to the range with it yet. I have been debating on reloading for the 380 or just buying cheap ammo to practice with and good stuff to keep in it all the time.

I really like this little gun. All of the review videos that I have seen are negative. They are all having failure to feed and failure to go into battery fully issues. I have almost 300 round through mine and the only failure that I have had was caused by me. I hit the mag release button and it failed to feed. that is total on me not the gun. I have fed it the 50 rounds of factory ammo that was given to me the day that I purchased the gun and close to 250 rounds of Xtreme Plated 100 grain bullets from Wes. I have also ran a couple of mags of my Barnes Tac-XP handloads through it as well. they cycled with no issues as well. I am taking it to the range again today and will try my Hornady 95 grain XTP's. I contacted Barnes to find out what the minimum velocity is to make the bullet expand correctly. They told me that the 80 grain Tac-XP from the .380 ACP has to have a minimum impact velocity of 750 fps. I shot these loads through my chrono and I am getting 953fps from 2.8 grains of TiteGroup. I set the chrono right in front of the target and was shooting from 20 feet.

I went out again yesterday and shot my Springfield 911. Ran over 100 rounds of the 100 grain Xtreme with no issues. This little gun is so fun to shoot.
