I’ve not found many recipes for .380 using Universal powder and am somewhat concerned with the wide disparity between data from Speer vs Hodgdon.
Speer. Start 3.6 max 4.1 COL .970 bullet 95 gr tmj-rn
Hodgdon start 3.1. max 3.5 COL .970 bullet 95 gr fmj-rn
I am reluctant to charge higher than the Hodgdon max.. the 3.5 gr charge fired ok in my M&P .380 Shield EZ, but extraction was pretty weak.
Would appreciate hearing from any of you with more expertise. Thanks.
