Well I was going to try to make a high pressure round, but it seems that mixed used .380 brass will work for my "Hellish loads without incident" experement.

THE FOLLOWING DATA IS FROM AN ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A GUN AND SHOULD NOT TRIED!

Alliant data: 380 90 gr XTP 4.8 gr Power Pistol .960" 3.7" barrel 1,105
fps 21,500 psi
Shot tonite: 380 90 gr GD 7.6 gr Power Pistol .984" 3" barrel Berreta
1934

It kicks like a 9mm. Makes the factory 380 seem like duds. The cases swell .005"
