The guy at the shop I bought my little Taurus at told me that I'd "be crazy to reload .380". I'm not sure exactly what he meant, but I'd think I'd be crazy NOT to reload .380. IMO it is the perfect caliber for reloading. Bullets are relatively cheap because they are the same size as 9mm (though much lighter--don't load a .380 with a 147 grain bullet).
The biggest problem I have with .380 is having an adequate amount of spare cases around. I tend to lose a few at the range, and you do have to pay close attention to the cases as they are easy to crush. (Going on muscle memory after reloading 9mm is a bad idea.)
