That's awesome. I was up in NH last weekend and ran another 300 reloads through it. I was very rusty and needed a tune up.
It ran great. I had one failure to extract with the reload. The loads are light and won't even cycle in my Kahr P380, so I'll chalk it up to the ammo.

I have the Flocchi Extrema loaded with Hornady XTP bullets and it's been reliable so far. I've only got 3 mags of it through the gun.
I did chrono my reloads to see how underpowered they were. Both bullets are 90 gr.

The reloads were 734 FPS
The Fiocchi were 824 FPS

It doesn't sound like much but that difference in MV gives the Fiocchis 26% more muzzle energy than my reloads.
