I went shooting this afternoon fired about 250 rounds of .380 along with a bunch of 9mm. I'd mentioned this earlier about .380. I do two loads - one for the LCP II, Sig 230SL, Walther PPK, and an Astra 600. These are all smaller blow back guns except for the Ruger and its just small. 2.5g of MP65 and they run very smooth. For my S&W Shield EZ I load same bullet but 3g of the same powder. Shooting it feels just like a 9mm in a large frame gun. Had to do this because the small guns just were too uncomfortable to shoot and I was flinching so bad I couldn't hit anything. I fired 50 rounds through the LCP II with no problem. Its an accurate little gun if you can shoot it enough to get used to it.
