ohmygosh, guess I better get me some (25 acp JHP) ??
Hornady and Speer have been selling .25 ACP JHP ammo for years!
I like the .380 as a defensive round, used to carry two KT3ATs and both were loaded with flat nosed ball ammo.
A hollow-point bullet doesn't work that way.how a hollow point could mushroom prematurely when striking clothes,
9Mm, probably a combination ball and JHP.
what is your preference, friend, for 380 acp loads, ball or hollowpoint ?
should I switch from FMJ to JHP ?
And I'll bet that the vast majority of them were either:Testing can tell us a little but I bet FMJs have killed more people than cancer.
I had an interesting converstion with a local gun dealer relating to .380s and the type of ammunition he prefers.
Yet thinking back at the US Army logic and how a hollow point could mushroom prematurely when striking clothes, then the ball would be a better choice based on the gun dealer's logic. Penetration and reliability.
"Energy Dump" has been mentioned several times.
The Myth Of Energy Transfer
Leave it to fastcast to critique a post I never made...
If he wants to count on his adversary to "bleed out" from tiny exit wounds, that's his choice.
As I actually have posted previously, the smaller you go in caliber or power the more precise you need to be.
If I carried a .380 as a primary, on purpose, I would become an "eyes, nose, throat" specialist, since that's what my aiming point(s) would be, regardless of the load, firing as fast as I could hit.
But that's just me.
