Both my 380s are Bersa Thunders, any idea if these would reliably digest 115gr round nose projectiles?I would say the heaviest possible bullet for the 380
To be honest I've never looked at the reloading data for the 380 mainly because I don't reload for them. I do know the 90 gr pills are supposed to work well. The rub is that those may be too light for 9mm.Both my 380s are Bersa Thunders, any idea if these would reliably digest 115gr round nose projectiles?
You gonna cast? I've been using the Lee 102 gr RN for both for a very long time. It can also be used in the .38 Special. Works great.The bullet would be used for paper punching at 7yds or so in both the 9mm and 380 cartridges.
Edit: I am leaning towards 100gr round nose.
Save a few bucks and reduce inventory. It seems like there might be a bullet weight that works well for both?If you reload for both, what is the possible reason you'd want to voluntarily produce unsatisfactory loads for either?
I cast the same and have had great results in a pair of Beretta 84FS, Colt Mustang, Springfield 911 and a buddy's Bersa. Highly recommend this mold/round for .380.You gonna cast? I've been using the Lee 102 gr RN for both for a very long time. It can also be used in the .38 Special. Works great.
It could be but it's surprising how little powder is required for the Lee 102 etc. etc. to reliably cycle in a gun..the 100 gr in 9mm could be a screamer...
