I do not argue that fact one iota ….I run the .380 Critical Defense myself. Zero jams, nice round, not too hot, just right.
However, that doesn’t change the fact that the original design was for tube magazines in lever guns. Kept good old boys and their 30-30s in one piece. That they work very well is what has kept Hornady in business all these years.
I happen to come from 30-30 country but never heard of anyone blowing up a tube of rounds because of pointy bullets against flat primers, but I remember them being celebrated as a solution to that problem.
Someone made the statement that the brass needs to be trimmed or is junk…
The OP post #1 was inquiring about that bullet in the Critical Defense line of which almost all are handgun/PCC rounds that use the same length cases as most other handgun ammo…..
