Federal Ammunition 125 Grain Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Ammo Details
Want to load up your trusty J-frame for a reasonable price? Federal has got you covered with this law enforcement grade 38 Special +P ammunition. This round’s Hi-Shok bullet performs really closely to the much acclaimed Hydra-Shok, and has a notched jacket that promotes fuller expansion during penetration. This is a lighter projectile for its caliber, which not only contributes to its formidable muzzle velocity but reduces its recoil somewhat as well.This round’s brass casing is nickel plated. That makes it easier to slip in and out of the cylinder, and provides protection from the corrosion that could put a concealed weapon’s ammo at risk. Federal was wise to put good components on a round that a cop would use. That’s the kind of spirit one should expect from an industry leader. You can trust the Minnesotan company’s primers and propellants when you’re in a jam.
Please note that this is +P ammunition.
