Anyone have any plinking loads you like? I haven't made my mind up on a type/grain pill to get, what would ya'll suggest? I have a bunch of Bullseye & Ramshot silhouette.

    My dad has a Mustang that I load for, but I just use full power loads so as not to have functioning problems. the difference between plinking and serious loads is the bullet. the gun ejects both types all over the county, so it doesn't get used much.

    I load 95 gr bullets with 3.5 gr of 231. I have used that load for years. It is a full power load that works well in my .380 pistols.

    It has been awhile since I have loaded up any 380, but when I did it was for a Walther PPK, I used 2.8gr of Bullseye under a Plated 100gr RNFP, cycled well and was pretty accurate too

    For plinking with a PPK and a NAA Guardian I use a Berry's 100 gr. RNHB with 2.7 grains of 700X. Be careful of overall length, get as close to factory as possible.

    Can I use 9mm .355, if I stay in the 115gr & under range? Sorry in advance for the dumb question the only pistol I currently load is 44mag.

    D@D. 9mm (.355) bullets are fine but I would stick with 90 to 100 grain range. I have seen a Sierra reloading book with loads for their 115 grain HP but velocities are about 850 FPS, to slow for bullet expansion.
