I'm trying to come up with a load for .380acp for a p238. I must load these short for reliable feeding.Col is going to be 0.920" , using ww boolits dropped from a lee 102gr mold sized at .356 and tumble lubed. The only powder I have to do this is hs-6, which has worked great in 9-45-38-357 for me. I found load data on 115 jaktd loaded @.980 with 4-4.5gr of hs-6. Having to load them short and with a lighter lead boolit there were just to many variables to take a shot in the dark on it with such a tiny case. I'm thinking 3.3 gr start and maybe 3.7 gr max, but just don't have all the data I'd like before trying it out. Thanks for your help.
