I've now started loading the little 380acp for the Boss to have practice ammunition. Components are not exactly easy to find, and one needs to be a little careful because the brass is very weak and inconsistent in length. If you don't apply enough bell to the mouth the wall will collapse when seating the bullet. If too much bell is applied, then again the wall will collapse.
To make matters worse I made an error initially weighing the powder charge. Instead of 2.8 grains I loaded 1.8 grains. Now I have about 50 bullets to pull, cases to prepare once again.
