That’s interesting. I have very little experience with loading for .380 and with loading for use in blow-back designs. I’ve never heard anyone mention this.
A few years ago I gave loading for the .380 a try. I was using a stainless steel Interarms PPK, which was all I had. The loads involved three or four different powders, but not Power Pistol, so I can’t add anything to that matter. I didn’t see a lot of difference in accuracy. I was shooting at 10-yards and the sights on that gun, out in the bright sunlight, were giving me a hard time of it.
My best results were with HP38, followed by Unique, but due the sights/sunlight I couldn’t be too sure of what I was doing. That was 3-1/2 years ago. I should revisit this some day. There are sure times when it would be handy to have a Ransom rest available.
