I believe it is made by Fiocchi. Very good Ball Ammo. I shoot it in my BG380.

I've used 9mm with no issues yet. Probably shot 300-400 rounds of it

It is beginning to get hard to find. I believe it is a Walmart exclusive. I don't know of anyone else that sells it.

I have not shot the Perfecta .380, but I have shot plenty of the Perfecta 9mm. If the quality of the .380 is equivalent to the 9mm, and your gun digests it just fine, I would load up the cart if you have the opportunity.

I say this only if the Perfecta .380 is sold at a "discounted" price as is the Perfecta 9mm. Obviously it will be more than a box of 9mm, as all .380 seems to be, but I would guess it is sold at a better competitive price than most of the mouse gun ammo out there. And as an above post states, I have never seen Perfecta ammo of any flavor sold anywhere but Walmart.

At the local WM yesterday, I saw 100 round boxes of FMJ Perfecta .380 for $19.99. I think it is made by Fiocci, not absolutely sure.

That's just twenty cents a pop. I doubt it gets any cheaper than that in a brick and mortar store. Or online, for that matter.

The 380 is a nice little round for plinking and a light SD load.
The Win. 95gr PDX is a top of the line SD loading with 211 ME.....

but the 327 mag with the Gold Dot 100gr bullet has a ME of 500
if you need a little more energy.

Certainly more energy in the .327 magnum, but then you lose probably the greatest asset of the .380--just how easy and unobtrusive most of the firearms themselves are to slip in a pocket or purse. Even folks that think the .380 is marginal for a defense gun carry them anyway because it's so easy to "grab and go" when you head out the door.

I've fired several hundred rounds of it through a Browning 1911-380 and had no ammunition related problems.
