Gel test Results
We tested this Hornady Ammunition 380 Auto (ACP) ammo by firing five rounds with a Ruger LCPII with a -inch barrel into calibrated Clear Ballistics gelatin. Of those five rounds, we discovered the ammo penetrated an average of 16.3-inches into the gelatin. Our test rounds ended the test with an average expanded diameter of 0.35-inches, retaining 100% of the projectile's original weight.
On this page, you'll see video of our tests including photographs that detail the ammunition before/after firing it through a four-layer barrier into gelatin. Also, you'll see how this Hornady Ammunition 380 Auto (ACP) ammunition stacks up compared to other self-defense rounds in 380 Auto (ACP).

Good quality ammo. Functions well in LC380. Recommend rotation more often than nickle plated brass as it will tarnish over time. Good practice to do so anyway.
