    .380 Load Data

    Good morning all, I am wondering if anyone has load data they would like to share for the .380 ACP. My Googlefu was weak working with the below components.

    Platform: Sig P238

    Powder: Unique

    Primer: WSP

    Projectile: 100GR Extreme plated FP.

    Brass: Once fired, mixed headstamp brass.

    Alliant does not list data for a 100Gr missile, so I find my self here. I bought the above components for other calibers but want to see if I can make them work for the .380.

    Thanks for your time.

      I have a manual which starting load for a 100g projectile and unique. Starting load 2.6g with stated velocity of 693fps and Max load 3.5 with approximately 1,024fps... This is using a Speer jacketed hollow point (#3983). It also lists a 100g FMJ loaded up to 4.3g of powder. I would probably start around 3.2g and work up. Personally for that round I'd look for the hottest possible without pressure signs. Seems like min to max depending on bullet was 2.6 to about 4.3 grains. Have fun!
