Videos tagged with 90 Grain XTP

This video conducts a 10-year follow-up ballistic test of Precision One XTP Plus P 90-grain .380 ACP ammunition, comparing performance from a short-barreled Ruger LCP Max and a longer-barreled Smith & Wesson M&P EZ 380. The tests reveal significant velocity differences based on barrel length, with the EZ achieving much higher speeds. Expansion was observed only from the longer barrel, while the short barrel resulted in tumbling and no expansion, highlighting the impact of barrel length on .380 ACP hollow-point performance.

This video compares factory self-defense ammunition against hand-loaded equivalents, focusing on performance metrics like velocity and energy. The presenter, an experienced handloader, discusses the potential legal ramifications of using reloaded ammunition in a self-defense scenario but highlights the benefits of cost-effective practice and enhanced quality control. The comparison includes 9mm 124-grain Gold Dots and .380 ACP 90-grain XTPs, with chronograph data presented for both calibers.
