Was hoping for somebody else, to be the guinea pig !

On their FAQ page they claim to only use new brass, so they are not remanufacturing ammo. That's a good sign, at least.

What!!?? Made in Wyoming, but no offering in 45 Colt. Heathens!

Wailing and gnashing of teeth!

let us know.

Did buy some .380acp , 88gr JHP for ~$0.32/rd . Bulk prices are "cheaper" yet .

Looks fine . Brass stamped "Norma" .

Test fired only one magazine= 12rds . All worked perfect in my LCP Max .

Fired into water filled HDPE jugs . Repurposed laundry detergent , cat litter , etc , so heavier plastic than milk or pop bottles .

Recovered from inside jugs : two nicely mushroomed with jackets intact , 3 with jackets totally separated , one with no expansion .

This is only a preliminary result , not a review or a recommendation!

XTP projectiles or GoldenSaber?

XTP projectiles or GoldenSaber?

Sorry for delay in reply . Had to go dig out my "American Gunner " Hornady XTP 380 .

My WCC bullets do much more resemble XTP than GS , but are not an exact match . Perhaps a generic version ?

 

[SharpBits]

XTPs seem pretty reliable in 380.

XTPs seem pretty reliable in 380.

.380acp from a short barrel is very problematic for SD .

I'd love a 30cent rd to be the ultimate stopper , but kinda doubt it .

I see this WCC 380 as more a training/practice ammo possibility , so far .

From the good gel tests I have seen, the XTP seems to expand, but not overly so, and get to the required depth. That's about as good as can be expected from the round. All the tests with the big name SD rounds all seem to open too much & too soon. Good for making pretty mushrooms, I guess. Hydroshok Deep looks pretty good, but are impossible to find.
