Reloading the .380 requires a little bit more experiance than a novice, an electronic scale is recommended and use only a single stage press, only a few tenths of a grain can lead to over pressure. Though the .380 may appear to be a 9mm Luger in short form it does have some different measurements at the base, if the extractor was able to work properly on the gun for a shortened 9mm case I would possibly try to reload it, but so far its a cartridge I do not have a die set for and probably won't buy one for.

I don’t own a .380, so don’t reload it. I do reload 9x19, and I’m really careful to check charge weights and cartridge length. It’s awfully small ...
