2014年2月27日 · I'd heard good things about Underwood Ammo, and they make a standard pressure .380 load with an XTP bullet. So I bought three boxes to test out for reliability. Out of all 150 rounds, I had about 15 failures to extract. For comparison's sake, I shot some of my old Gold Dots that I needed to cycle out of my carry system. Not a single failure.

2015年9月1日 · Velocity makes this type of ammo more effective, the more velocity the more force is used to push the gel outward in the flutes. Its what turns a 38 Special into a 357 Magnum or a .380 into a 9mm. Velocity isn't an abstract obsession it's what makes bullets work.

2024年11月30日 · Soft lead core FMJ and hollow points in .380 suck against any kind of hard barrier that duty-caliber ammo in 9mm will sail right through and still penetrate the target. The only ammo I have shot that can come close to 9mm performance is XD, XP and lead hard cast flat points. I carry Underwood standard pressure 68 grain XDs in my .380 guns.

2012年11月11日 · Well, theres a new round out from Underwood Ammo that uses the tested bonded Gold Dot bullet but loads it to a higher pressure (22,900 cup) producing a pretty good increase in energy out of my test gun (Bodyguard 380) and that's nothing to sneeze at.

2012年8月14日 · Carrying a small .380 for some people, including myself, is the difference between carrying and not carrying in certain situations. There is nothing wrong with a little experimentation trying to get a little better performance from a less than ideal caliber. If you don't like the .380 or Underwood Ammo, good for you.

2022年7月30日 · One, greater controlability between shots, and two, long term durability especially if you reload practice ammo with the same recoil impulse as your carry ammo. Underwood also makes a 90 grain Plus+P xtp load, but Gold dots will always tend to expand more but penetrate slightly less than XTP's.

2010年7月15日 · I'd heard good things about Underwood Ammo, and they make a standard pressure .380 load with an XTP bullet. So I bought three boxes to test out for reliability. Out of all 150 rounds, I had about 15 failures to extract.

2017年9月24日 · First, the 380 ACP Lehigh normal pressure Xtreme Penetrator. View attachment 352960 Then the hot +P 380 Underwood XTP (hollow point) on the left. View attachment 352954 Recovered bullets. View attachment 352956 Wound channels. The Xtreme Penetrator is on the left and the XTP is on the right. This is consistent with the melon testing I did in ...

2024年10月29日 · Yeah , my OG Micro .380 could do head sized groups @ 25 yds , but even at 25 yds the BC is essentially meaningless . 75 or 100 yds . BC could make measurable difference in trajectory ( if the groups were tight enough to tell ) . But IF I were to ever revisit .380 for social purposes, I would look first at screwdriver ammo.
