I'm carrying Federal Punch 124grn in my edc, and when I come across some .380 Punch I'm getting some for my wife's 380EZ.

Nice article.

I think I’ll stick with flat point FMJ in my 238...10” is definitely too shallow, and 12.5” is just barely adequate.

I'd like to try some of the Hydra-Shok deep in my .380 but till things change drastically in being able to find any kind of ammo , I think I'll just stick to my Hornady 90 Gr. XTP load.
