380 acp and Hornady 90g. XTP bullets

elee · August 13, 2007, 06:54 AM

Anyone shoot 90 g XTP's in their .380 with any powder other than Power Pistol? I am shooting a German PPK/s, and the only loading data I can find is for 90g. XTP's is with power pistol. I am interested in trying, Unique, Bullseye, Red Dot, Green Dot, or Blue Dot, all of which I have in excess. I currently shoot 3.2g. of Bullseye with a Remington 88g. JHP. Any powder recommendations for the XTP's?

Power Pistol is my 'go to' powder for hot 380 rounds; I also use Winchester 231 for plinking.

TiteGroup 3.4gr (max), Winchester Small Primer (WSP), 1100 fps, Beretta 85 (~4" bbl) - my favorite load for .380 ACP

Bullseye 3.4gr (max), WSP, 1000 fps, Beretta 85

My Speer reloading manual shows 4.6gr (max/compressed load) Unique for a velocity of 1034 with 90gr Gold Dot JHP. This should give you a guide for developing a load with Unique/Hornady 90gr XTP.
