Is anyone loading 380? What bullet designs work? What loads have you found to work?

I've been loading the Lee 356-102-1R cast of any left over "scrap" alloys sized .356 and lubed with LLA or with NRA 50/50 lube over 2.5 gr Bullseye for years.  Last few loadings have been with the 358-105-SWC though.  It feeds and functions fine in my AMT Backup and the wife's Ruger LCP II and is accurate in both.  Velocity runs 720 fps.

I haven't had a .380 in some time, but used to load for a Colt, a couple of PPK/Ss, and a Makarov. I tried an RCBS round nose (93 grs.), a Lyman flat nose (100 grs.), and a SAECO flat nose (122 grs). Most accurate powder with each bullet was 231, but I also tried Bullseye, Unique, Herco, and Blue Dot. I used ww alloy and sized at .356".

I also load the Lee 356-102-1R, cast from various tin/lead alloys. My load is 3.5 gr Universal Clays. Lube is equal parts paraffin wax and Vaseline. I shoot them in a Ruger LC380.
