Foxbat Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I have not loaded the .380 in a long time, but have accumulated big pile of brass, so decided to load a thousand or two - I had 95gr FMJ bullets. Lo and behold the Hodgdon manual now lists the data for AutoComp, and since I use a lot of it for 9mm Major, I decided to give it a try. According to the chart, it produces good velocity at low pressure. Well, I love the result. Very soft recoil with plenty of room for growth. At 4.0gr I was getting close to 800fps out of Kahr P380.

freakshow10mm Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Winchester .380 factory ammo uses the non-canister version of AutoComp. I've been using it since 2009. Data has been with Hodgdon for the .380 since then too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98sr20ve Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Power Pistol is good in the .380. I actually prefer these slower powder in .380. Go figure. It surprised me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
