Product Info for Federal Premium Personal Defense Hydra-Shok Low Recoil 38 Special 110 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point Centerfire Pistol Ammunition

The Federal Premium Personal Defense line of Centerfire Handgun Ammunition is loaded with bonded projectiles for even greater reliability. This ballistics engineered ammunition features hydraulic shock technology and a center-post hollow point design. The specialized boat tail bullet shape of the Federal Premium .38 Special Ammunition produces a progressively expanding wound cavity without over-penetrating. The slender profile of the rounds and heightened hollow point of the Federal Premium .38 Special Low Recoil Hydra-Shok Jacketed Hollow Point bullet provide an initial wound channel of controlled expansion. The notched copper jacket of the bonded projectiles controls expansion and initiates further expansion providing a greater wound cavity. This noncorrosive technology makes Federal Premium .38 Special Ammo a truly pleasant round in the handgun.image
