.380 ACP: The Biggest Little Caliber
Lead is a double-edged sword. On the one hand it is dense and inexpensive, which are exactly the two things you’d want from a metal if you’re making bullets. But lead is also toxic. That means if you’re spending a lot of time shooting indoors, where the air is stagnant and lead vapor and particles can gradually accumulate, you may wish to fire lead-free bullets to preserve your respiratory health!
This 380 ACP (aka 380 Auto, they are one and the same) cartridge by Federal is ideal for indoor range training because it has a totally lead-free bullet. It’s a lightweight bullet without the heavy metal inside of it, and at 70 grains it delivers a very fast 1,110 fps muzzle velocity out of a 3.75” barrel. That brings about a flat trajectory, with only about 1.1” bullet drop at 50 yards.
This round’s FMJ bullet isn’t its only lead-free component. It also features the Catalyst primer, which is filled with a potent mixture of nitrocellulose, aluminum and bismuth oxide – three entirely nontoxic substances! The Catalyst is still a Boxer primer by design, which alongside Federal’s new brass case makes this ammo perfectly reloadable.
