Cast up a bunch of these boolits and they weigh in at 97 grains give or take some. I looked at RD's load data for his 100 grain boolit and he suggest 3.2 grains of TiteGroup for the .380 acp. Lyman's says 2.4 - 2.7 for their 356242 90 grain and the same for a 95 gr FMJ. Lyman 3rd edition has no date for TiteGroup and lee has no lead boolits for the .380. On line I see mostly 3 grains of TiteGroup in the 90 to 100 grains range.
So with all that info I'm thinking of starting at 2.4 and working my way up. Should I do 5 rounds and go .1 gr at a time or something different.
Lee 356-95-RF load info needed

Re: Lee 356-95-RF load info needed
Howdy 62, I usually only do 3 at a time for each
charge, that way I don't have so many to pull
down if need be. I have never loaded for the .380
but that small case would tend to make me
keep my increases to no more than .2 at a time.
But then again, with all my bigger stuff I only
jump .3 at a pop on a new work up LOL.
