Simple question, what 380 ammo do you recommended, and why?
This guy did extensive testing of ammo performance coming out of a short pocket 380 barrel. Here is the link (not sure if it will post) Final Results of the .380 ACP Ammo Quest | Shooting The Bull
I looked at his data, and something just doesn't seem right. For one, he posts lower velocities from his 2.8 inch barrel than the article he links to that did the test with a 2.5 inch barrel. I know there is variation from weapon to weapon, but the difference seems pretty excessive. Second, I need to go over his charts again, but a couple of the tests appeared to used the same bullet with a different casing, got different results that didn't seem to correlate with velocity ( I could be mistaken). At any rate, I don't think he has posted the last word on this subject.This guy did extensive testing of ammo performance coming out of a short pocket 380 barrel.

Exactly why I prefer POWERBALL in my 380's.I'm shooting Hornady Critical Defense through my Sig p238. The gun cycles everything. It was the AmmoQuest video that turned me onto the Critical Defense rounds. I like the rubber tip inside the cavity of the hollow point. I think the results showed the bullet mushroom every time through ballistic gel and denim. That was more important to me than a hollow point clogged with denim passing through the ballistic gel like a FMJ. My 2 cents.
