.380 cast bullet data

[Mr. 16 gauge]

Hello;
I'm looking for some cast bullet data for the .380 ACP using heavier (100 grains or so) bullets. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have an old Layman manual with data for 95 gr. cast bullets. You should be able to load it reduced by alittle and get close. You might use the suggested starting as max. loads and work up to them. Suggest starting for a 95 gr. bullet is ,- 2.0 gr. Bullseye, and 3 gr. of Unigue. I would suggest you start at 1.5 gr. with Bullseye and 2.4 gr. with Unigue. I assume not liablity for this oppenion and it`s worth what you paid for it. Use your own judgement.

I've never loaded the .380, but I reload a lot for the almost identical 9 Makarov. You might check out my old article on it at reloadingroom.com keeping in mind that the two cartridges are not identical. Reduce my top charges by 10% and you should be fine.

I had excellent luck with a variety of powders, including Unique, RedDot, American Select, Clays, Universal Clays, Green Dot, 700X and several more.

I have an old article (not by me) about powders that says the best powder for the .380 is the very old and almost completely overlooked IMR PB. If you want to try some PB, I'll look up the article for data.
