Reloading for 380 ACP
Come with me as we reload 380 ACP and show how to overcome of the nuances that come with reloading such a small cartridge. -- Since purchasing a S&W Bodyguard 2.0, I have wanted to practice more with such a small pocket pistol. 380 ACP is nearly double the cost of 9mm Luger for factory ammo, so come with me as I show you my process for reloading it!
TIMESTAMPS IN DESCRIPTION BELOW In this video I show the need for and design process of making properly fitting 380 inserts for an MTM Universal Loading Block. These significantly help with the loose fit on the cases that the loading block itself has, even on the smallest inserts. SLDPRT and 3MF of the part can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6841696 All content in this video falls under YouTube community guidelines.
