Not many folks load .380, much less heavier bullets. I was figuring on 700 fps, but way short, maybe it was the 2.5” barrel. It’s a locked breach gun, I might look into developing some of my own loads using slower powders. I’ve been thinking about buying a larger platform to play with. I just bet AA#7 or Longshot would make it step up a bit. If the case would hold enough. Underwood markets a 68 gr. +P .380 load at 1400 fps! Same bullet from the .357 SIG (got one of those too) run 2100 fps!

That didn't go quite as planned...
