I've never reloaded for this caliber, heard it could be tricky since the round headspaces on the mouth of the case. with the price of 45 ammo it may be the only way I can afford to shoot it. I'm also looking into the 22 conversion for the gun, a sig 220. anybody have one with the 22 conversion? hows the accuracy? the gun generaly digests anything well but havent tried snake shot or handloads yet.

If you are in the need for Brass , I know a guy that is selling it, i will find out how much he is asking for it, i know it is a lot less then they are selling it in the stores.. let me know if you are interested

if it's only been fired once and a name brand,pretty much all the same. not a mix/match of pickups from the range or military crimp, I'd be interested. afraid to see how much bullet heads are gonna cost.my reloading bench is in the garage with no A/C and it's too damm hot now, usualy only reload in cooler weather. it took me most of a year of handling it daily to build up strength to run it one handed, now with wrist/elbow problems gotta start from scratch again or go lefty.

O.K. gotta do a little reading up on them and choose a load, order dies and get supplies for when the weather turns colder. with the wt of the brass and heads I can understand there being more expensive (youre getting more metal), can't figure out why those little 380's cost so damm much, supply and demand I suppose.

Supply and demand on the 380's is exactly right, especially when you can buy a $180 Kel Tec to shoot them out of....
