I for one would love to see you shoot water jugs possibly and note if any expansion was noticed with this brand ammo.Ronhttp://www.defensivepistolskills.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-68905518637523764612012-08-03T21:29:04.085-04:002012-08-03T21:29:04.085-04:00Ron, yep placement, and controllability helps ther...Ron, yep placement, and controllability helps there. .380 is a compromise of course.<br /><br />Thanks Andy.

With short barrel guns (typical 2.75") I strongly doubt that one will generate enough of a powder burn to gain velocity to achieve any real expansion. Purely my take,,,but after spending LOTS of time behind a Chrony, and test firing rounds into wet new papers, phone books, water jugs, etc. my suspicions of no real expansion seem to show true. <br /><br />Personally, I like Buffalo Bore hard cast +P .380<br /><br />Remember, there are NO magic bullets.
