I am rather proud of the .380 load as it replicates a weak 9mm from a short barrel with a .380 ACP (though I use a 20 lb Wolff spring in the P232).
Wowzers; that is a screaming .380.

All I want is for one single person to notice.
How do those 200 gr .40 cal feel? I prefer 180gr over the 165gr but never have tried the 200gr.
I haven't had any issues with them, but I have only tested them in my P239.
