I own seven 380 automatics but don't shoot them very often compared
to all the revolvers I own. It varies but maybe 150-200 rds a year total.
It isn't worth it to me to hassle with loading 380s even though I load
several other calibers. I try to save the brass anyway but always lose
some. I think the best load for the 380 is the standard 95 gr FMJ and
so I just stock up when I see a good price.
