I was out shooting today and decided to see how many rounds I could hit at 50 yards with my 380. The pistol was a Bersa Thunder 380 CC. I was surprised to find that I was able to put 12 out of 18 rounds into a steel barrel lid. When I inspected the steel lid, I saw that many of the bullet holes were profile shaped! Is it normal for a 380 bullet to begin tumbling at 50 yards or do I just have a poor barrel on this pistol?
Ammo was MagTec 95gr FMC 380A and Blazer 95gr TMJ. I am unsure if both loads were keyholeing or just one. I shot a mag of each before inspecting the target.
I think it is strange that I could hit so reliably if so much energy was lost at that range...hmmmm?
