I'm thinking of getting a 380 pocket pistol. Not getting into the choise of guns on this thread but the reloading. My reading seems to indicate that since the diameter of the bullet mimics others there are a lot of potential choices. But my manuals give date for a relative few. Basically, from around 80 grns to 115. Few have canelures. .355 & a little larger. Also, I'm wondering about the horror tales re availability of ammo & how that relates to components? primers, no prob. Powders, no prob. But what of brass & bullets? You guys who do it... What are you running into?
