Got my Xtreme Bullets .380's today and started loading into cases I charged yesterday. I only have my Glock 42 in .380 and wanted to begin working up my .380 so that it was short enough to chamber in other guns as I know the Glocks tend to be able to chamber some long cartridges. So I borrowed a Walther PPK/s for an additional plunk tester.
I kinda fudged my charge as I did not have exact data for Unique and a 100 gr. lead bullet...these are plated so I use cast data. I interpolated data for Unique and a cast 95 gr and a cast 121 gr bullet.
I ended up with 3.8 gr. of Unique pushing that 100 gr. plated RNFP and a COL of .944 which plunks just fine in both the G42 and Walther....dummies feed perfectly in both pistols with no setback after 6 chamberings with the Walther and .006 setback after 6X in the Glock.
Guys who have loaded .380, whaddaya think? COL about right? Too hot for a start load at that COL? Feedback appreciated and thanks in advance!
