    Default Powder charge

    I am reloading some .380 ammo and Im using 102 grain JHP. I cant find how much powder to use in a 102 grain bullet.I have looked in all 3 of my reloading books and they list 90, 95, 115 and 125 grain but no 102. I need some help...I did load some @ 3.6 grain. Talk about a hot load. I think I need to stay around 2.6 grain.

    100gr data will work. What powder are you using?
