    .380 ACP Load info needed

    Hey guy,

    I am trying to find data for the 380 ACP. I have the 100 Grain FP Extreme Bullet from Wes. Mostly I am looking for the COAL. Will be using Titegroup starting at 2.5 grains per the info that I can find in my manuals. All the info that I find for RN bullets says to set COAL to 0.980. I have seated a few to 0.940 and they look good just not sure if I am going to have pressure issues and don't want to hurt my new gun. Any info is appreciated.

    Load them with FULL range lead bullet data, or LOW to MID range jacketed data. I seat to .980 on mine, and worked loads up from the bottom powder charge using AA#2

    Thanks for the info. The 0.980 is what I was needing.

    I suggest you make a dummy round and the .980 and make sure it fits the chamber of your gun.... I have round nose and my oal is .960

    Agreed on the length test!! I load for a colt govt model. Glocks and Rogers may need a little shorter OAL

    Tried 0.980. Felt like the gun did not go fully into battery. Seated back to 0.975 and it feels better. Got 100 loaded for tomorrow.

    If loading for a glock 42, I recommend loading on the higher side of the powder range.
