I recently picked up a Bersa Thunder 380 mainly because lately there has been new shooter asking me to take them to the range. I have a couple hundred rounds of Remington UMC bulk and several hundred rounds of my reloads. Before this I did not have a firearm chambered in .380 auto. The reloads are for my dad's colt mustang government which he no longer has thus I'm with all this ammo. I've never fired my reloads through the mustang but have shot factory loads through it and recall it being very soft shooting. I have shot my .380 reloads through a Walther PK380 and was mild.
I shot the bersa with my reloads last saturday and it was very snappy. It was snappier than my slightly hotter reloads out of a glock 19. You can definitely feel it in the web of your hand after a mag or two. Not as snappy as a Ruger LCP but you get the point. Is the bersa suppose to be snappy?
I thought the chrono read somewhere around 850 FPS for these 100 gr coming out of the PK380. I have the data somewhere. I guess I'll have to bring out some UMC along with my reloads and chrono them. I still have a box of 500 100 gr projectile that's been sitting around for a few years. Guess it'll be time to put them to use.
