I get my best results with that bullet using H-322.  Check a manual, and work up very carefully, but I believe my load uses around 39.5 gr.  This is from memory as my load data isn't handy right now.  It stomps deer dead.

I have used the H322 and H380.  Both shoot MOA groups.  The H380 has shot 1" at 200yds twice.  Both are very accurate.  Loads that take up the full case are the best.  I maxed out the H380 and it is a compressed load under the 180SSP.
