I know the .380 is a real tight fit in my Piettia Police chambers, the difficulty ramming such a tight fitting ball (With the short rammer) into that cylinder makes them not worth it. The .375's still shave a nice ring when rammed and seem to seal well.
Perhaps the .380 dosen't fit all chambers universally due to minor machieneing variances and it maybe makes sense to have a supply of both?
I know that in my case, I need both sizes which is OK for me. Perhaps when I get my Piettia London fixed, they will work in it better as the chambers of the Uberti seem to be a looser fit.
Heck, Lead Balls are cheap enough to stock both in your shooting box and use the appropriate ones.
A good point was brought up about the hardness of the Lead. Maybe the .380's I have are a harder alloy?
