Are you looking for a load? Or just want to see if anyone likes it?
Only load I have for H380 is in 300 WSM pushing Absolutes.
 
Never used it, my sierra manual 5th edition has it listed for a variety of bullet weights, just looking at velocities it is better in the heavier weights for that caliber. Any bullet weight you are particularly looking for just send me a message and I will look it up.
 
I no longer have a .308, but did save my load info:

180 gr Nosler Partition
41.5 IMR4895

Only used my .308 for Moose.
 
Most of my 308 loading is with the faster powders, 4895, TAC & such. The Hodgdon site would have data if it’s a viable choice.
 
Hodgdon manual #26.
With a 165 gr bullet start at 45.0 grains of H380 and max is 48.0 grains.
With 180 gr bullet start with 43.0 grains of powder and max is listed at 47.0 grains of powder.
Pressures listed are just slightly higher than loads using BL-C2 powder.
