I have a new BG 380 and am looking for an ammo to break it in that is dependable but not so expensive. Any suggestions? I prefer American made factory ammo.

USA made

Winchester USA 100rd value pack
Federal American Eagle
Remington 88gr JHP 100 rd value pack

Foreign
PMC bronze FMJ
Fiocchi FMJ

I have ran all of these through my BG without a single malfunction. If you have light primer strikes, go with Federal followed by Winchester. The Winchester and Fiocchi are more plentiful locally, so that's what I shoot mostly in this caliber.

I buy all my .380 ammo from Freedom Munitions. Even with shipping, I pay @ $0.35 a round as opposed to @ 0.42 to 0.46 from the local retailers.

Fired hundreds of rounds through my Glock 42 and my wife's Sig P238....absolutely no problems.

Any one shot any DRT fmjs? How does it compare with Winchester and federal?

Anything that will make a hole is fine, don't waste your money on the exotic stuff.
With a 380 you need all the edge you can get.

I carry a 380 in my pocket when nothing else will work, just make sure you can hit your target and you'll be fine.

I carry the Remington Golden Saber, 102 gr slug seems to work well in the shootings I've seen the aftermath of.
