Load Data

[Jeffrey Johnston]

Can anyone share their load data for the RMR .380ACP 95 Gr. RMR FMJ Round Nose Bullet? Using HP-38.
New to the hobby.
Or, do I just use data shown by many of my books for any ..380ACP 95gr RN FMJ from any other manufacturers?

Thanks.

My best success with the 95 gr. FMJ round nose projectile from RMR Bullets is with 5.0 grains of Hodgdon HP-38 in a one-port, 4 inch barrel on a Hellcat 9 mm, shot off a sandbag at 12 yds. It produced a one large 10-shot hole of approximately 1.5 inches. I got similar results with a green dot laser.

I got approximately a 2 inch pattern with 4.5 gr HP-38, and approximately 3 inch pattern with 4.0 gr HP-38.

I almost forgot to mention that I cheated — I was using a Red Dot sight and the target was not shooting at me!!
