Reloading for the 380 Recommendations
I am going to start reloading for my wifes sig p232 380. I was just interested in what one powder for a bullet about 90 grains would be best.

Also what primers would be best also?

Thanks

I just overload .380s to see how much power is possible.
Power Pistol gives the highest velocity.

I've loaded up a good number of .380's, my favorite load is:

Rainier 95g Plated RN
CCI 500 primers
3.0g of Win. 231

I've also tried Remington's 88g HP with Blue Dot but the bullet wouldn't open up no matter what.

Sorry,
But my fat fingers find reloading the 380 just not worth the effort. The economic incentive to load 380 is there, but the cases are so short and I get pinched too often between the case mouth and the die.
