380 Auto Tests... - 01/15/18
The reason behind the post is Saturday I loaded 95gr Magtech ball over a near max charge of CFE Pistol and went to check function. The LCP was a handful compared to the Monarch ball I have been shooting since I bought the pistol, and that is what it's loaded with when I carry. I searched and found that the load is ~750 fps and even read a report the load bounced off a phone book at ~10'. I backed the last 400 down from 4.1 to 4.0 (4.2 max) and they are running 750 fps like the Monarch so fine for practice.
Now the search is on for a carry load, I am not really comfortable with lightweight bullets or the new frangible bullets hitting the market.
This is only a 380 question, I have a G19 9mm and a G20 10mm....
From this data, or if you have other links with similar tests, what cartridge would you choose for a 380?
