Had only heard a few rumors but they were showing it at SHOT.

99 Gn HST Bullet.

If the ATK rep I talked to was correct its going to under penetrate in bare gel though. He said 10" in bare gel. Hydrashok might remain the best ATK bullet in .380.

That's good news. I like that it is a heavy weight bullet.

Thanks for reporting on this.

I'm getting the impression that it must be really hard to engineer both expansion and penetration in a .380

Too bad they aren't projecting something better than hydrashok.. would like to CC my Walther PP if only ammo with acceptable terminal performance were available.

Arent there two loads out there that pass. I think the hornady xtp bullet loaded by precision one was one of them.

Too bad they'll probably sell them in the 20 round boxes for $24.99

IF so, I'll be able to take a more serious look at my wife's Beretta 84.

I was told they will be available in the 50 round LE boxes and 20 round commercial boxes both.

If I were to carry a .380 instead a .38 special I would hope for better performance than either the Hydrashok or XTP 380.  XTP doesn't offer much expansion and both of them appear to clog easily (as much as you can trust online testing anyway..).  Kind of disappointed to hear the HST doesn't penetrate enough.   If I had to carry a .380 would likely be the hydrashok and hope it didn't clog.

Now they just need a 38 special in HST and they will be all set.
