I've been on a .45 auto kick. I'm up to 600 rounds, but plan to keep going until I have at least a 1,000. I've got the supplies - just need to find some ambition.

.308 tonight. I loaded 100 rounds to shoot in the morning.
Gonna' start @ 600 then go to 1000 yds. with a couple of friends. I shot 100 rounds @ 400 yds. this morning. I haven't taken the Tikka .308 out for several months & it sure feels good to shoot it again. I did notice that the .308 kicks a little more than the .22 rimfire does.

Kick or not, I really like shooting that .308 Tikka.

.380 100gr FMJ 3.2g W231 100 rounds
.380 95gr JHP 3.2gr W231 100 rounds

Don't shoot .380 much but I've reloaded something in the neighborhood of 450 rounds of JHP and 300 rounds of FMJ in the past year or so.

Greener, I don't load a lot of .380s either. When I do, I use your load# 2. Works nice in the little Sig.

When I bought the .380, I figured I wouldn't shoot it enough to justify reloading. Then I looked at the price/availability of .380 ammo and figured out my break-even point on dies and shellplate was about 300 rounds.

I've looked at the Sig .380. Seems like a very nice pistol. Most of the Sig handguns are very nice.
