This high-performance .380 ACP load uses 90 grain jacketedhollow point bullets and achieves above-average muzzle velocities of 1000 feetper second. Each cartridge is cased in reloadable nickel-plated brass.
Historically considered marginal for self-defense, .380 ACP/ 9x17mm Short cartridge and the concealable pistols chambered in the cartridgehave benefited enormously in recent years from modern bullet designs such asthe Hydra-Shok. Made by Federal, Hydra-Shok jacketed hollow points offer strongpenetration and expansion and represent a massive improvement over full metaljacketed ammo in the .380 ACP. A post in the center of the bullet’s cavityprovides for fast and reliable expansion in targets, minimizing the chance forpass-through and collateral damage.
Federal Premium Ammunition, founded in 1922, is one of thenation’s top ammo manufacturers. In addition to supplying ammo to the US armedforces as the operator of the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, the companymanufactures a wide variety of cartridges for personal defense and targetshooting. Its Hydra-Shok and HST rounds represent major innovations in thefield of jacketed hollow point ammo and have found favor with CCW licenseholders and police officers across thecountry.
