Thanks for all the replies. I"m a busy guy so I don't get back to the forums to often.

The 3.5gr works great. Almost no leading very fun to shoot and it cycles just fine. Even more than that it doesn't seem to fling brass quite as far which makes it easier to pick up. My only real regret is that I've got several boxes worth of the bullets loaded with 4.3 grians and I'm not about to sit down an pull them all...

Intresting note...with the 4.3gr loads the leading occured towards the end of the barrel. With the light 3.5 what very little leading there was was all towards the breech...

I don't have any targets to show groupings, we mostly shot at soda cans and skeet but they seemed to do pretty good.

Now I've got to work something up for my .380 LCP... its a hard gun to hold on to with the factory loads but I'd like to pratice more with it....
