Just finished up the 380 with 95g FMJ bullets. Came out nice but the bullets are very small and it seemed like there was very little in the case but were holding OK. Two different people will be shooting them but one will not shoot much if at all. She needed for protection and to sleep better at night I suppose. The other person will go thru a few as he just bought the gun and they had no bullets to sell him. He has shot much before so I don't foresee any problems.  Craig

For sure, 95 grainers are pretty small, but am sure your friends will be grateful for your efforts

Hey Ken if it was just a little warmer I would be burning um up myself but it's just a little cold for me. Any thoughts on the 380 with 115g bullets? Nosler has data that is around 4.5 ish. I would like to try my blue b ullets for this round.  Craig

OK just did 10 115g blue bullets for 380 and needed to push the bullet into the case more as it was hanging up in the mag. Will shoot as soon as I can weather permitting. Loaded at 3.1g power pistol with 3.4 being max. Nosler had this as their most accurate round. We will see.  Craig

I guess you know you are hardcore reloading when you only need 3 primers to finish 1000 9mm fmj and you easily find 3 on the floor!!! Craig

I have to pick up each primer as it hits the floor.  The maid gets really pissy when they rattle up the vacuum.

Least you have a maid, plus she's getting paid for it 😀
