380acp

I'm looking to cook up a 380acp silencer load for a typical 3 inch gun. I'm thinking 90gr xtp and about 2gr of nitro100nf. Anyone load 380 with nitro10nf? I use it in 9mm and do like it. Using 2gr will load hundreds of shots and barely put a dent in a 14oz container.

What do you think? The 21st century Sedgley OSS .38 I would hate to accidently leave an altor in my truck toll box and find one of these a week later... Oh and nuclear weapons weren't a bad idea. The invasion of main land Japan could have doubled casualties for the Pacific theater.

Let's say you are jogging in big cat country and the putty tat is going to pounce on you and you might get one or 1 shot 2 off. Or you are jogging in ninja country and they don't want to assassinate you with a poison dart from a blow gun pond reed, because that gets old after they have done it...

I searched going back to 2014 for a 380 carbine reloading post, no dice. Don't say get a 9mm carbine because I will at some point. This is all part of a plan, since my wife took my 380 sig P232 and I'm thinking she might do the same with a 380 long gun. The idea is reload maybe some +P ammo in...

New guy here. Followed this forum for several years and finally decided to join up. Looks to be composed of serious shooters and lacking in the gun trolls of many other sites. Hope burns eternal... In any event, I recently purchased a Springfield 911 380 for pocket carry. Liked the pistol from...

.380 gets a really bad Rep among shooters. Many consider .22 Lr a better defensive caliber than .380 is. I've even heard stories of .380 supposedly 'bouncing' off bodies. But then I think, if .380 is shot out of a full size handgun, like a Sig P232 Would it really be too bad? It' would give...

We've had several threads recently that have shown, to my mind, inscrutable consistencies. One side always comes in with 'Handgun stopping power is a myth. and all handgun calibers are essentially within 20% effectiveness of each other. One poster asserted that the .357 Mag. is no more than...

I've had good results with Alliant's BE-86 powder in some 9mm Luger and .38 Special loads that I put together and would also like to use this powder in loading 380 ACP. My bullet of choice would be Berry's 100 gr. hollow base round nose but Alliants online Reloader's Guide does not show a 100...

I have a post up on the autoloader forum asking why I shouldn't succumb to the desire to buy a Ruger LCP at my LGS. Of course if they don't succeed in talking me down off the ledge and I buy the pistol, it will become a matter of pride to reload for it. I currently reload 25 ACP, 9mm, 38...
