Utterly reliable, accurate, not that fast - SIG SAUER Elite Performance .380 ACP 100 Grain Full Metal Jacket Brass Cased Centerfire Pistol Ammunition

Over the past few years I've shot quite a bit of SIG-Sauer branded ammo and have been uniformly impressed with its reliability and generally impressed with its accuracy. I've also noticed - in several calibers - that the SIG-Sauer loadings often run impressively fast for the pressures to which they're loaded.

Now, this particular Elite Ball .380 ACP 100-grain FMJ load . . . it's definitely reliable and above-average in accuracy (over several boxes through a few different guns (Rugers, Berettas and a Glock), but it's NOT all that fast. At 5950' above sea level (so you expect quicker than down at lower elevations) this gave only an average of 831 fps (36 fps spread, deviation of 14 at about 80 degrees F) from the 3.25" polygonally "rifled" barrel of a Glock 42.

It's worth noting that this SIG ball ammo hits to the same POI (from a couple different guns) as does the (much warmer) SIG-Sauer 90-gr JHP .380 loading, with the same perceived recoil. Good training ammo, for sure.
