380 Auto – 88 gr JHP – Remington (L380A1B – R23974) – 600 Rounds

Most 380 owners carry a hollow point but practice with FMJ, which means the carry load rarely gets tested in their own pistol. This listing is Remington UMC 380 Auto 88 grain jacketed hollow point ammo, MPN L380A1B (Remington R23974), sold as a 600 round case so you can practice with the same type of bullet you carry. It is a practical bulk option for 380 owners.

Remington rates this load at 990 fps with 191 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The light 88 grain bullet runs faster than typical 95 grain FMJ, and the hollow point cavity is designed to open on impact. Because a 380 has less energy than a 9mm, a light, fast JHP like this is one approach to getting expansion from short barrels. It is a defensive bullet type, and buying it in quantity makes it practical to confirm feeding and ejection in your exact pistol before you rely on it.

It fits pistols chambered in 380 ACP, also known as 380 Auto, including the Ruger LCP II and LCP Max, Glock 42, SIG P365-380 and P238, Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 and M&P 380 Shield EZ, Kimber Micro, and Walther PPK. A common question is whether hollow points feed in tiny 380s. Most modern pocket pistols feed them well, but some older designs prefer round nose bullets, so run a few hundred rounds through yours first. Another common question is whether this ammo is legal to carry. Hollow points are legal in most states, though New Jersey and a few local rules restrict them, so check yours.

Remington L380A1B is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. It uses reloadable brass cases with boxer primers and is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 6 boxes of 100 rounds, 600 total, from one lot, so your carry magazines and your practice sessions draw from identical ammunition. Rotate your carry rounds periodically with fresh ones from the same case.
