First time loading 380acp

[b1gcountry]

Dillon 650

I want to load some 380 for a g42. I have some 95gr sns rn coated. I plan to use my 9mm tool head, and just swap out the sizing die. I expect to adjust seating length etc.

My question is what powder to use? I have wst, n340 and clays on hand. I can find data for clays but don't know if that is a good powder for 380.

I use a 550. I have MG 95gr JHP, and HP38/Win231. I load 3.0gr at .95 OAL. This doesn't exactly answer your question, but hope it helps. I'm also loading for a G42.

Best Wishes!

you sure about that? The max salami OAL for .380 ACP is 0.984. I load to a nominal 0.975.

Not sure what you are asking, as .95 is SLIGHTLY shorter than .984. And Yes, I am sure of my OAL. Not sure what salami has to do with it? Unless you mean SAAMI. probably. OK.

If saami had an employee named Samuel, would half his lunch be "SAAMI Sammy's salami and Spam semi sammy"?

Now answer my question or I start telling more jokes. Yes that is a threat!
