The Sellier & Bellot .380 ACP 77gr XRG ammunition is engineered for critical personal defense applications. This cartridge integrates a precision-manufactured solid copper hollow-point (SCHP) projectile, designed for consistent terminal performance. The XRG’s construction facilitates near 100% weight retention upon impact, even after barrier engagement, which contributes directly to predictable penetration and optimal energy transfer.
The 77-grain projectile weight is specifically optimized for the .380 ACP cartridge, establishing a critical balance between projectile velocity and a mitigated recoil impulse. This characteristic is particularly advantageous in compact, concealed carry platforms. The design’s reduced mass relative to caliber aids in diminishing felt recoil, thereby enabling faster shot-to-shot recovery and enhanced shooter control, a decisive factor in defensive engagements. The XRG projectile architecture ensures reliable expansion even when fired from the shorter barrel lengths commonly encountered in contemporary personal defense firearms.
