How's the case-life on these? Can I just keep using them like I have been with my 9mm Para and my 45 auto? |

Sure. .380 is a relatively low-pressure cartridge. Inspect between reloadings, like always. |

I've only loaded two recipes so far. This is exactly what I have written in my recipe "journal": 95 gr. JSPHB (Zero Bullets) 3.0-3.1 gr. Bullseye (metering issues) CCI SPP COL: .97 Notes: Nice, use this for practice. 0 failures in 25 rds in Bersa Thunder 95 gr. JSPHB (Zero Bullets) 3.2 gr. Bullseye CCI SPP COL: .97 Notes: Max. according to Speer. Use as def. load in Bersa. Try in LCP. 0 failures in 25 rds. ETA: The reason I wrote "try in LCP" was that it actually felt a little snappier than the first load. I can't imagine why it would - it was a .2 gr. difference - but it really seemed to. I was thinking that in the LCP it might actually be uncomfortable. |

I've been using this reload for .380 autos: 95 gr. Zero JSPHB 4.0 gr. Alliant Power Pistol Winchester WSP primers CBC, Winchester, S&B brass-reloaded 4+ times now. I find this to be great for target shooting. It cycles well in all my .380's: Ruger LCP Bersa Thunder Browning BDA The LCP beats the brass up pretty bad and ejects it a country mile. I'll lose my brass before I'm able to wear it out. |
