.380 reloading - small or extra-small powder bar?

[G19]

[i'm using a 650, but I believe the 550 and SDB use the same powder bars.]

Going to load some .380, and see that the listed charges for my powder (IMR SR7625) are right on the border (3.0gr) of where Dillon suggests using the extra-small powder bar (which I don't have . . . yet). Wondering which powder bar most folks are using for .380 loading and with which powder.

Looking to load for my G42, so I imagine the round will need a little oomph to cycle the Glock.

I've reloaded using the standard powder bar down to 2 grains of Titegroup and had no issues. I checked the first 10 rounds and they were consistent. I also chronographed the ammo and there no significant inconsistencies.

Thanks.

Looks like Dillon is now recommending the XS bar for charges under 2.6gr: http://www.dillonprecision.com/#/SD_small_powder_bar_problem-98-9-2104.htm

My old manual has that demarcation at 3.0gr.

Since you're able to get down to 2gr, I should be fine in the 2.8-3.2 range.
