·There is already a lot of .380 ballistic data done on popular brands of factory ammo. We welcome your test data (wet pack, ballistic gel, animal flesh, etc.), scientific or not-so scientific, links to independent test results, etc. As we all know, there are many variables that come into play and it's impossible to predict how a certain round will perform every time, but these tests make for an interesting read, and may in fact help you in selecting your carry or HD round. Bottom line, the .380 is a .380 but advances have been made of late that help bridge the gap between what has historically been a marginal defense round and an effective stopper. And to use an old phrase, a .380 in the pocket is better than the .45 you left at home.
