I'm shooting the Lee 100 gr. rn in a Walther PPK/s .380. I have w-231, bullseye, and unique. I am looking for a plinking load that will cycle reliably. Hopefully with w-231, ( that what I have the most of) any recomendations would be appreciated. Thanks folks, Stubert

Hey,
I have been running 3.0gr of 231 with 95gr lead rn in my P232. Very accurate and works the gun well.

I've had good luck with the Lee 356-102-1R over Unique 3.0 gr. in a PPK, Bersa, LCP and Colt Mustang. Accurate and reliable in all. Mine weigh 103 gr. and I size to .358 with White Label 2500+ lube.

3gr must be it.
I use 3gr Bullseye. Works great in 8 different 380's here with 103gr RF sized 358.

I use this exact load with my 356-100 TC RD boolits. Works in 4 of my 5 380's--haven't had a chance to try the 5th one out yet, sigh. So many guns, so little time.

ive been using the lee .356 102 with 3.2 gr hp38 out of my lcp for plinkers .I don't often shoot that gun though unless I have a spotter with me to pick up brass as I shoot . if not im lucky to find half of it .

OTOH, I use 4.0 gr. Unique under Berrys 100gr. plated. Should work equally well for your 100gr. LRN.
