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.

From 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.

Thanks, Dave.

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