PRESS RELEASE FOR BUFFALO/BARNES 80gr. TAC-XP 380 AUTO+P AMMUNITION
 

This load is the direct result of customers wanting the deep penetration of the expanding Barnes X style bullet in a 380 auto +P load.

See the below real world velocities from my stock real world pistols. We always use over-the-counter firearms to establish our velocities as using extra long laboratory test barrels gives false high-velocity readings and is misleading to the customer who will be firing the ammunition in the real world, not a lab.

➤1,231 — fps - Browning Double Action 3.75-inch barrel
➤1,235 — fps - Walther PPK 3.5-inch barrel - (faster than longer barrel above, not a typo)
➤1,130 — fps - Kel Tec PA3T 2.75-inch barrel
➤1,136 — fps - Kahr P380 2.53-inch barrel

The all copper, long-for-weight, Barnes bullet is so long that when seated to an OAL of .940 to .950 inch, the base of the bullet will make a slight bulge in the case, but this DOES NOT affect feeding or chambering as the bulge is not pronounced enough to cause any problems, but in order to avoid endless emails, I’m mentioning it here. In fact, that bulge provides enough resistance to the bullet base, to stop the bullet from being battered deeper into the case upon feeding, which is a very good thing. If we load to a longer cartridge OAL, to eliminate the bulge, the cartridge will be too long to fit some magazines. Feeding was 100% in our over-the-counter test guns.

We are using a flash suppressed powder so the shooter will not be blinded if dropping the hammer in low light, which is when almost all civilian shootings occur in America.

An update. I have a Kahr .380 and some other owners may run into a problem similar to mine. I had been unable to rack out live rounds even though they fired and ejected fine otherwise. This round is long and just within tolerances so some special care may be needed. To eject live rounds one must point the ejection port to the ground, hold the slide with the strong hand and the grip with the weak. Quickly and forcefully pull the slide while pushing the grip. As the spring is used, the force necessary to do this should lessen as well. It was only an issue for me when I unloaded to take the weapon to the range in any event.

Fired in a Kahr p380, the first round failed to fully eject but after clearing fired remaining rounds without problem. I am sure the failure to fully eject was due to my limp wrist. Recoil is stiff so hold tightly.

As a backup pistol for in the tent at night, (I'm not in grizz country at all, just SoCal, MtnLion and Black Bear) I run my Sig P238 Alternating between these, and LeHigh Xtreme Penetrators. Everything I've put thru that Sig is crazy accurate. your ammo was no exception! (Incidently worked just fine for dispatching a deer to the back of the head that had been injured by a car accident) I'd prefer to deploy this option to a BearSpray when inside the tent, (or at night as that lil P238 has awesome night-sights) as I have to imagine it's highly possible some BearSpray could reflect back into the tent if spraying from inside of it. And that stuff burns like the sun! So thank you, this product helps me feel a little more at ease getting up to answer nature's call in the middle of the night. P.S. can even do surprisingly well keeping a few of these in the black at 25yds with that little 2.75" bbl!

Great Ammo - This is one of four ammos that will function 100% in my finicky P380. Hits right on with my crimson trace.

My NAA Guardian 380 loves this ammo. It's now my primary carry, as the penetration and expansion of this round coupled with the low recoil due to the weight of the Guardian make for on-target follow-up shots.

I had the opportunity to chronograph this 380 load thru my Sig P230. The average for five shots was 1210 fps. The high was 1222 and the low was 1187. The ammo fed,fired and cycled perfectly. It was also accurate. I will definitely be buying more!
