Description
The CorBon 380 ACP 80gr DPX load is built for shooters who want a proven 380 ACP round from a company that helped shape modern high-velocity handgun ammunition. Each box holds 20 cartridges loaded with a 80 grain DPX solid copper hollow point bullet rated at 1050 feet per second, producing about 196 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. The DPX bullet is a solid copper hollow point made by Barnes, so it opens into sharp petals while keeping nearly all of its weight, with no lead core that can separate from a jacket.
This 380 ACP 80 grain solid copper load is rated from a short 2.5 inch barrel, so its published numbers reflect the pocket pistols most 380 owners actually carry.

Why Choose the CorBon 380 ACP 80gr DPX
- 80 grain Barnes solid copper DPX bullet
- Rated 1050 fps muzzle velocity, 196 ft-lbs energy
- Retains nearly all of its weight for deep, consistent penetration
- Designed to perform through heavy clothing and barriers
- 20 rounds per box, item DPX38080/20
Built for Personal Protection
- Carry and home-defense handguns chambered in 380 ACP
- Shooters who want a high-velocity defensive load
- Practice sessions to confirm point of impact with your carry ammo
- Keeping one consistent lot of ammo in your carry gun and range bag
Before you trust any new defensive load, fire at least 50 to 100 rounds through your handgun to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Rotate your carry ammo every so often, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box so the cartridges stay clean and easy to identify by lot number.
Compact pistols can be sensitive to bullet length and shape, so fire at least a few magazines of the CorBon 380 ACP 80gr DPX through your pistol to confirm reliable feeding and ejection before you carry it. A quality holster and regular practice make a small 380 far more effective.

Why Choose CorBon 380 ACP Ammo
Getting enough penetration from a small 380 is a common challenge, and a solid copper bullet helps. Because the DPX has no lead core to separate, it holds its weight as it expands, and at a rated 1050 fps and 196 foot-pounds from a 2.5 inch barrel it is built to perform from the short barrels found on pocket pistols.
When you compare 380 acp self defense ammo, look for a load that balances expansion and penetration in your specific pistol. The CorBon 80 grain DPX pairs well with the Ruger LCP and LCP Max, the SIG P238 and P365-380, the Smith and Wesson Bodyguard and Equalizer, the Glock 42 and similar compact 380 pistols.
CorBon has built high-velocity defensive ammunition in South Dakota since 1982, when the company set out to solve a common problem: hollow points that plugged with clothing and failed to expand. That focus on real-world performance is still at the heart of every box. Corbon 380 acp ammo is loaded to tight standards so shot-to-shot velocity stays consistent, which helps you build confidence in the same load you train with and carry.
Concealed carriers who rely on a small, easy-to-carry 380 pistol will find this load a practical choice when they want dependable penetration. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for 380 ACP, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
