380 cases
I haven"t reloaded any .380 autos as yet but I have a 380 Ruger on order from my kid. While in the process of of picking up spent cases at the range that I shoot at to build up my cache, I not only find cases marked 380 auto but also S&B cases marked 9mm Br. C. I imagine that stands for 9mm Browning, I am not sure what the C stands for. The case measurements fall into the 380 measurements although they are cut different just above the rim. Whereas the 380 autos have a bevel cut above the rim, the ones marked 9mm Br. have more of a straight cut up to the body of the case. Any insight on the differences would be appreciated.

S&B cartriges are maked 9mm browning cartrige still for some reason. I think they are the only one to still list the 380 as that. Its just a regular 380

"Br" is Browning and "C" is Corto, which means "short" in more than one language.
I have found that S&B brass is decent in .380 but the primer pockets are on the tight side. Careful when priming that brass, don't get ham-fisted with it.
