Federal is making some decent strides as of late in their ammo. What was already proven to work now made better.

Yea, today’s .380 ain’t like the old .380, today’s choice and performance for this caliber is impressive

Very can’t wait till I get my Browning 1911 .380 Black label. I’ll be running a lot of federal rounds through it.

I'll have to keep an eye out for this ammo. It's now on my shopping list, as there are 2 380's in the family, loaded with Hornady XTP right now.

The best round you can put in a .380 up till now. That is what I have in my .380 and until I can see several gel tests on the .380 Hydra Shok Deep , I will continue to to do so.

I just run Winchester FN-FMJ in my P238. I have doubts about hollow point function in a little .380, I’d prefer a bit more penetration.

Here is a run down of .380 ammo testing and the final results of the testing . It is almost 11 min. long but well worth watching the whole thing

Yeah, I’ve seen tons of testing, and done a bit of my own.

I’ve never seen any JHP load in .380 be consistent enough in expansion and penetration to be what I would consider reliable.
