Tested a couple of .380 hollow points to see if some rounds might penetrate enough that I might consider moving away from FMJ for carry. The Buffalo Bore 80 grain Barnes MIGHT.
The Hornady Critical Defense will, most definitely, NOT be replacing fmj. At the very least, I'd like a defense round to, at least, be able to penetrate the full depth of a sternum.
The last round was to see the performance of the .357 Federal 140 grain Barnes bullet out of my 2" snub nose revolver. (I've tested before in rubber mulch, but never through bone)
The tests were done in ballistics gel, with bone embedded 1/2" into the gel for half the shots
