Finaly got to the range with the RD 100gr loads, its shooting low and can't remember if I add fps or slow down to make it come up.

50 rounds with the RD 100gr. @ 3 and 7 yards shot in same string.
65427


50 rounds with Berry 100gr @ 3 and 7 yards shot in same string.
65428


I think the RD should out shoot the berry and thats my goal. Not bad shooting my wife shot the groups with her pistol.

If you loaded both bullets with the same load my guess is that it's because of how you see the two different targets over the top of the gun. With the same load I don't see any way to change POI that much at 9 and 21 feet.

The more I load and shoot the 380, the more I like it. Only problem is they sling brass all over the place from He!! and gone, and it is hard to spot to pick up. Never can find all of it that I shoot. Wish there was a bigger frame on the market that would hold more rounds.

A slower bullet will shoot higher because it's in the barrel for a longer period of time, and that give more time for recoil to raise the barrel before the boolit exits.

Sorry fecmech I didn't post loads the berry boolet was 2.7grs. the RD was 2.2grs.
1Shirt so far its not been bad, been shooting alot at an indoor range I get around 120% recovery rate on the brass as I'm the only one reloading it seems. With the grass low still at my dads we recover around 95%, but that will change once spring gets going good lol.

I will not volunteer to stand in front of it. 2 p238 I have shot were a schooch low too. 90gr solved that though. More fps should raise poi. Generally higher fps higher poi. I would buy another they are great guns.
