At the velocity you will be dealing with they will give excellent results at a reasonable cost.
Alliant data always states max load, I've been cutting them back 10%. That still seems hot but I am getting good results , I may try a group of 3.8 gr and 4. gr. If I'm on paper at 25 yards it works for me !
The .380 is fun, Im new to that round .Enjoying the ride.
