200 Rounds of 85gr JHP .380 ACP Ammo by Winchester

“The Power to Defend.” It’s the promise Winchester makes good on with every Silvertip series cartridge they sell. These aren’t the highest-tech 380 ACP hollow point loads on the market, but they are still effective for self-defense no matter which little pistol you’re packing.

We have to say it: despite what its name and appearance suggests, the Silvertip jacketed hollow point bullet does not actually contain any silver. The JHP’s nickel-plated jacket is eye-catching, but ultimately its sheen is solely cosmetic. The bullet promotes more reliable expansion courtesy of its symmetrical grooves, which help its jacket split apart even when it strikes its target with less energy. And even if the JHP doesn’t deliver significant expansion, its tip’s rim will still stamp a more injurious wound channel into soft tissue than an FMJ’s round nose profile could have managed.

Whether you burn through this ammo at the range or save it for personal protection, you’re bound to appreciate the care Winchester takes to load high-quality brass cases, dependable noncorrosive primers and propellant which is specially formulated to minimize fouling of the action and bore.
