Product Overview
SinterFire's .380 Auto offering brings something different to the table with its lead-free FMJ design. At 75 grains, it's deliberately engineered lighter than typical .380 loads, but compensates with an impressive 1025 fps velocity. This combination delivers consistent performance while generating less felt recoil - particularly beneficial if you're running a compact .380 carry piece like a Ruger LCP or S&W Shield.
Where this round really proves its worth is in indoor range sessions. The lead-free construction means you're not breathing in lead particulates during high-volume practice, making it an intelligent choice for defensive training. When you're putting hundreds of rounds downrange to master that trigger control and follow-up shot placement, you'll appreciate both the reduced fouling and the manageable recoil profile.
While this isn't marketed as a dedicated defensive round, its 166 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and FMJ profile make it a solid backup option when your premium hollow points are running scarce. The lead-free construction also means you won't have to deal with the typical fouling cleanup after an extended range session - just a quick bore snake pass and you're good to go.
- Lead-free construction makes it ideal for indoor range use with strict environmental policies
- Lighter 75gr bullet weight contributes to reduced felt recoil while maintaining good velocity
- 1025 fps velocity is higher than typical for this weight class, enhancing terminal performance
- Frangible properties reduce risk of ricochets in steel target applications
- Clean-burning powder formula leaves minimal residue in the action
- Lower mass (75gr vs traditional 90-95gr) may affect expansion reliability in defensive scenarios
- Higher velocity can accelerate wear on internal components compared to standard loads
- Premium price point compared to traditional FMJ options
- Limited availability compared to conventional ammunition options
