I got a 1934 Beretta 380 ACP built in 1939. Thinking I should not use P + loads due to age of pistol and I want it to last. Saw this on the Buffalo Bore website for standard pressure 380 ACP loads they are selling.
" If you like the idea of the extra big hole this expanding load makes in human flesh, we would advise that you load this bullet (jacketed hollow point) in your chamber, followed by a magazine full of our non-expanding loads (hardcast flat nose)."

I guess the question is for those that carry 380 ACP pistols. I bought some Magtech ammo for plinking but thinking of loading the Buffalo Bore jacketed hollow point followed by all hard cast flat nose bullets as they recommend. What ammo manf. and ammo type do you guys load your pistols with? What is your logic? Thanks in advance for any replies.
