Here's a link to a discussion of the new Hornady .380 round

Found this little comment:

Quote
After telling him no one here has heard of it, he checked his DVR. He said it is called "Hornady critical defense ammo" and the segment showed Dick Metcalf firing what appeared to be a LCP into ballistic gell with some fabric and down in front.

He said they got about 10 inches penatration about a 6 inch wound channel aprox. 2 inches wide and a perfect mushroom.

I have searched the innerwebs best as I could, I find no mention of it.

Probably not the solution you are looking for when you experience feeding problems with certain ammo, but here is a post over at Pawpaw you might find interesting:

Very interesting, Marshal.,,,Thanks for that link.
I've had feeding problems with specific ammo in the past and never thought of checking tolerances on store-bought ammo.

Another slight drift...hope to get my LCP soon since I've been on a waiting list for a while.  Has anyone tried Blazer Aluminum ammo in their LCP?  Need something besides $20+ WWB to break it in.  Any other suggestions?

TIA
