The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

I just acquired a FEg R61 chambered in 380 auto and looking for a good safe load with Hard cast lead rn 93 or 95 gr bullets. I would like to know what powder you use and what has worked best for you.

I don't load the 380, never like the 380, any load in here is alright even shooting lead bullets the muzzle vel, doesn't exceed 1100

NORM,

Thanks for the link. I haven't even shot a 380 yet. I just bought the FEG R61 which was made as a 9mm Mak but Century changed some of the first ones they imported to 380 because at that time Makarov ammo was hard to get. I thought about changing the barrel back to 9mm Mak but don't know where I would even find one, so. I will probably just get into 380 auto. Maybe my wife will like it better than the Makarov round.

http://www.gunpartscorp.com/ had some stainless steel 9x18 PA-63 barrels , that would fit it you would have to cut the barrel to length, and recrown it ,
