I was recently loading some .380acp rounds (my youngest granddude likes the softer recoil) and I got my info from my Lyman manual. I also looked at the Hodgdon website for more info and it was different. I was using TiteGroup at 2.4gr (the lowest Lyman value) for his likes but the website gave me 2.6gr.

It doesn't seem enough to make a big deal (max was around 3.0gr) but how do you reconcile differences like that? Does it make a difference or just a choice as long as I didn't exceed max? I'd be curious as to thoughts of the more experienced. Thanks.
