Polycase Inceptor .380 ACP 56 Grain ARX Ammunition, 25 Rounds Per Box Md: 380ARXBR-25
Introduced in January 2014, the ARX® is a new projectile in every sense of the word: from the way it is manufactured, to its shape to the way it transfers energy to the target. To understand the ARX®, one needs to forget nearly everything they’ve been told about projectiles.
The non-expanding ARX® is injection molded from a specially blended polymer-metal matrix. It is designed to penetrate most intermediate barriers without deformation and consistently achieves its terminal effect in soft targets and tissue. It is light weight; thereby producing reduced recoil and allowing for faster on-target follow up shots.
The ARX® design and weight also means the projectile will penetrate through half as many walls as conventional lead-core projectiles; thereby, significantly reducing the risk of collateral damage should the user miss their intended target.
Even the heaviest clothing barriers have little to no effect on the terminal performance of the ARX® bullet. The ARX® penetrates straight until it encounters soft tissue. Upon entering soft tissue, the specially designed grooves in the nose harness the soft tissue and constrict, pressurize and eject it at 1.5 to 2 times the directional speed of the bullet.
This is the well-known Venturi Effect. As the bullet penetrates it tumbles in a controlled, predictable fashion that delivers consistent terminal performance that rivals conventional hollow point designs.

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
Designed by John Browning, the 380 ACP (9mm Browning Short, 9x17) was introduced by Colt in 1908 and by FN in Europe in 1912. The 380 ACP is much more potent than the 32 ACP and is essentially the world-standard personal defense cartridge for pocket and purse-sized semiautomatic pistols. Bullet diameter is 9mm (.356-inch) with case length of .68-inch. Standard bullet weights vary, but most common are bullets of 85 to 95 grains at velocities from around 900 to 1000 feet per second. More important is recent bullet technology, with modern expanding bullets offering greatly enhanced performance over the full metal jacket bullets of John Browning's day. 380 ACP ammunition is offered by all makers of pistol ammo, and the cartridge is chambered by virtually all makers of small to mid-sized pistols. The 380 ACP is comfortable to shoot in medium-sized pistols, but the smallest 380s currently available can be snappy for inexperienced shooters. —
