Fed Hs Dp 38spl+p 130gr 20/200

Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep .38 Special +P ammunition is a modern refinement of one of the most trusted self-defense loads on the market. Since 1989, the original Hydra-Shok has been the choice of law enforcement and civilians alike—and the Deep line takes that proven foundation and sharpens it for today's performance standards. This 130-grain jacketed hollow point round combines the iconic center post design law enforcement knows with improvements born from real-world testing against the barriers you're most likely to encounter: car doors, drywall, heavy clothing, and intermediate obstacles.

The Hydra-Shok Deep's reinforced center post and refined core construction are engineered to deliver controlled, predictable penetration through barriers while maintaining the stopping power you need when it counts. Federal backs every round with a specially formulated propellant and extremely reliable primers—the unglamorous parts of ammunition that separate premium duty rounds from the rest. When you load .38 Special +P, you're counting on consistency and reliability; this load delivers both.

Sold in boxes of 20 rounds, Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep is ideal for shooters who keep a revolver for personal protection or home defense and want ammunition with a proven track record of performance. Whether you're setting up carry rounds or practicing with the exact load you trust, you get the benefit of Federal's nearly 150 years of ammunition manufacturing expertise.
