    Reminds me of the Lehigh Xtreme Defense load.

    Yeah, I’m gonna need to see some vetting on this one.


    That said, the .380 buff in me is looking on…

    Love to see these types of projectiles legit tested and reviewed.

    The energy transfer language (necessary for the internet and experts) is very off-putting.

    Tested by professionals, not YouTube Commandos. I couldn't care less about performance against a cut and wrapped pork shoulder, still in the wrapper from the grocery store. Nor the terminal ballistics in the guava behind it.

    Unless perhaps, I was planning on hunting javelina in Hawaii.

    Me too. I won't dismiss out of hand hitting rifle velocities from a 9 with a bullet that "might" not fragment. Real proper testing/vetting will be interesting.

    Should make for a great trajectory and lots of blast if nothing else...

    It's the exact same thing as far as I can tell.

    Why every company that makes this feels the need to put an out of place capital X somewhere in the name is beyond me.

    And we continue to travel full circle on light bullet/heavy bullet.

    I clearly recall Lee Jurras and Super Vel ammo, and how the light bullet, high velocity ammo was the answer to all handgun related stopping power problems.

    Improved technology in bullets has improved terminal performance of light bullets. But that same technology can be applied to a heavier bullet.

    God bless Colonel Cooper and Elmer Keith.
