need some pet loads ideas for the .380 for my g 42. what works and what dosent, also any issues that came up Thanks
 
Mine takes a hot load to cycle the slide reliably. IMR 700X powder is a good clean burning powder.
 
I don't have a 42 but my standard load is 95-100 gr bullets (usually plated) with 2.8-3.0gr Titegroup. .970 OAL. I'll double check when I get home but that seemed to be my standard load for range ammo. works fine in my TCP and Mustang Pocketlite.
 
I think a friend is loading 380 using auto-comp. Ive never used it but it cycles his LCP and Walther pretty well.
