Leftoverdj.380 ACP
I can't find my W-W guide.
Need a nice load for a 90 grain cast in an AMT Backup using 231. Even better would be the range of usable charges.
A rough duplication of bactory ballistics would suit me nicely.
Thanks.

onefunzr2From the Lyman Pistol & Revolver Handbook: 380ACP
92 grain cast bullet(#2 alloy), Federal cases, WW 231
start load... 2.3grains@700fps
max load..... 3.5grains@1000fps(also most accurate)
A 'nice' load has got to be in there somewhere.
Good luck.

LeftoverdjThanks, Dave.
My measure easily throws 3.2 which is a safe reduction, so that it shall be.
