380 and 9mm

Post by e-bil »

I'm looking to start reloading for these calibers. I have been doing just .223 and .45 so far. I've been using regular Clays for .45 and from what I've read it will work pretty well for 9mm but not so much for 380. What recommendation would you all have that would work for all three? I'm looking at this for both target/comp as well as EDC. I am aware of the thoughts on handloads for EDC and would prefer to avoid this discussion.

I'm ok with there not being a one ring type solution as well. Just curious what experience folks have.

I use power pistol it works great in .380, 9, and 40 so I don't think .45 would be an issue for it.

Unique, Bullseye, 231, HP38, all are great choices for multiple pistol caliber reloading.

I'm fond of both Unique and Titegroup. Both very fast burning, the Uniques is very clean and the Titegroup is very cheap. :coolgleamA:

I use Bullseye paired with a Berry's 100gr plated bullet for my range loads. Really great stuff.

I also use Clays for .45 ACP. Ramshot Zip is my favorite for 9mm. Gives best accuracy (smalled group size), burns really clean, and meters like water.
