Hi All
I am getting ready to load up some 380Acp ammo. I have the Speer 95grn TMJ bullets, primers and powders. Any preference of the two listed powders? I have AA#2 and HP38.
Data for the AA#2 is pretty clean cut. For the HP38/Win231 its a little cloudy. Hodgdon sight listed a 2.9grn start with a 3.2grn max load for HP38/Win231. Now that is with a FMJ bullet. The Speer sight listed a start of 3.6grn with a max of 4.0grn, but only list it as Win231. This is with the TMJ bullet. But its starts over the max of what hodgdon has posted So same bullet weight but one is FMJ and the other TMJ. Is there that much difference in the type of bullet? Or am I over thinking this?
Thanks
