Your load might be considered hot.
Prudent to start low and work them up.

If I have two of the same pistols , P238s, PPKs or others,
I work up loads for each starting with loads that are like factory
loads, then go up, with accuracy as the goal.
We use Penn's Premium Cast leads at 100/115/120gr
and Hornady's 115gr XTPs and 115gr FMJs.
Bullseye or N320.
We carry what we load.
Hope this helps.

Been reading that hot ammo like Buffalo Bore and others
claiming to be 380+P, has blown extractors off of the
Walther PPKs pistols.

Our only G42 moved to Colorado and is the goto
"Downhill Racer" carry.
I'm using Hornady's data for the Hornady 100 grain FMJ. It states that the maximum load with power pistol is 4.4 grains. I agree this load might be a little hot and in a larger frame pistol like the CZ-83 I own, should turn about 850 FPS. We'll see what I get out of this. The previous load I have used in 3.2 grains of Winchester 231. Hornady text on this caliber said that 231 yields the most consistent results.
