0.5" under the FBI spec for bare gel for .380ACP out of a sub-3" barrel with really good expansion isn't all that bad. Especially when it meets the spec in clothed gel.
I can see why some people might choose other options; but saying it's "terrible" seems a bit extreme.
If anything, it's so good it's hard to believe. Both the velocity and expansion are much better than Luckygunner's results. I'm with roadrash in being somewhat skeptical.

How many times in that "150+ years" did the difference between 11.5" and 12.0" of penetration turn out to be critically important?
