Overview of Honey Badger Ammo

Key features of Black Hills HoneyBadger ammo

  • Solid-copper construction: the Lehigh Defense bullet uses a monolithic copper body, not a jacketed lead core.
  • Flute-driven terminal effect: razor-edged flutes generate hydraulic pressure waves through soft tissue without relying on expansion.
  • No expansion threshold: performance doesn't depend on hitting a velocity floor, so short-barrel performance stays consistent.
  • Barrier-blind: the solid bullet defeats clothing and intermediate barriers that defeat conventional JHP designs.

Black Hills Ammunition has earned a serious reputation among precision rifle shooters and special-operations contracts since its founding in 1981. The HoneyBadger line is the brand's most distinctive defensive offering - a partnership with Lehigh Defense that delivers terminal performance through bullet geometry rather than expansion mechanics. For carry shooters who run short-barreled compacts or are skeptical of JHP barrier performance, HoneyBadger occupies a different design philosophy from bonded JHPs and standard hollow points.

Defensive ammo lines worth comparing

  • Federal HST: bonded JHP self-defense standard.
  • Speer Gold Dot: bonded JHP that's the LE-issue benchmark.
  • Hornady Critical Defense / Duty: Flex Tip JHP for clothing-barrier consistency.

For shooters who want to read independent reviews of the defensive ammo landscape - including bonded JHPs, modern hollow points, and specialty designs like HoneyBadger - Ammo.com's review library covers the most-carried defensive loads in major handgun calibers.

Customer Reviews

  • Old Man said:

    I carry a Smith & Wesson 380 Bodyguard 2.0 and find it the perfect personal protection weapon for my needs. I tried Honey Badger 380 and had 3 hangups in the first 10 rounds. I certainly can't count on that kind of performance for protection so I won't be purchasing any more.

  • Scott said:

    Shot 20 rounds of the Black Hills 380 ACP ammo with my S&W Bodyguard 2.0. No jams , bigger holes on the paper target than other 380 ammo I have tried.

  • DK said:

    Was considering the Honey Badger 65 grain for my S&W 380. It's a quality loaded ammo and impacts a one inch expansion on the target at 7 meters. I just couldn't shoot consistently accurate with it so chose another brand for my go to ammo for this gun. Others may not have this experience with it though.

  • Blorg said:

    These cycle well in a PPK/s stainless. Not all ammo does. Have seen the ballistics on these Honey Badger rounds and was impressed. As you know, a 380 is a nice conceal or backup gun but really the minimum in the way of stopping power. Noticed these bullets for the 380, as opposed to other Honey Badger calibers, have the machined flutes sharpened to a razor's edge. I know why they did that. ;-o

  • Rudy said:

    Easy to order. Delivered onmtime. Good value.

  • Shot Dr. said:

    For years, and I being a shooter for 50 yrs, .380 ammo has traditionally been scorned after just a few bad reviews and YouTube videos. I’d suggest those folks, respectfully speaking, learn to shoot accurately and with consistently maintaining all the fundamentals. Honey Badger is an excellent fill of powder and performance. It’s the only ammo I carry in my Glock 42 and Walther PPK/S .380.

  • Gene said:

    Great personal defence round. Feeds well. Beretta, Colt and Smith concealed carry.

  • Len said:

    No misfires, no problems. Great.

    Light recoil, big fireball. High penetration.

  • Blorg said:

    Cycles well in a Kimber 45.

  • Lou said:

    The bullet design seems like a good concept, the ballistic gel tests that I've seen regarding the Honey Badger design were impressive. The concern: The very first round I tried to feed into my Dan Wesson 1911 jammed solid on the feed ramp. Subsequent tries had the same result and the cartridge suffered ~1mm of bullet setback. That particular cartridge didn't appear any different than the others. I cycled other rounds from the same box several times without issue or bullet setback. Maybe the first round I tried was defective. The next time I go to the range I'll try them out.
