HI.. I'm currently reloading 380 ACP for my Kahr Arms P380 which I am in the process of training with in order to get my CCW permit. I used to Reload 30 years ago. As result of Gorgeous Gavin Newsom with the perfectly coiffed hair on top of a completely empty head along with the libtards running our legislature, ammunition is now subject to a 15% surcharge tax in California. A box of 50 rounds of basic 95 grain range ammo is close to $40.00 at the range. (off my ranting soap box) I just purchased 94 Grain FMJ Prvi Partizan Bullets and am using Hodgdon Pistol CFE powder. The Hodgdon website says to us 3.7 grains with a 95 grain Speer FMJ projectile as the starting load. Is it safe using the same load for 94 grains instead?
Update:
Shot 200 rounds using mixed brass and 120 94 grain and balance 95 grain. Results 95% stripped, chambered and fired exactly as hoped. The other 5%, weird. 5 had failure to fire..(not sure of light strike or primer failure) The others either jammed at the feed ramp or did not fully chamber. 100% were all put through a Lyman chamber gage to make sure they fit properly and head spaced correctly. Kahr Arms P380s seem to be finicky at times getting fed. Love to hear anyone else's experience. I am reloading another batch of 200
