Federal Ammunition Fed Hydra-Shok Deep 32H&R 85Gr Jhp 20/10
Federal Ammunition's Hydra-Shok Deep 32 H&R Magnum is a purpose-built personal defense round that carries a proven legacy. Since 1989, Hydra-Shok ammunition has been the choice for shooters who understand that self-defense demands reliability and consistent performance. The Deep variant refines that tradition with modern ballistic engineering—a stronger center post and optimized core geometry designed to achieve reliable penetration when it matters most, whether you're shooting through intermediate barriers or into soft tissue.
The 85-grain Jacketed Hollow Point bullet in this 32 H&R Magnum load is engineered for controlled expansion that doesn't sacrifice depth. That balance—expansion without over-penetration or under-penetration—is what separates defensive ammunition from range plinking rounds. Federal's specially formulated propellant and extremely reliable primers ensure consistent ignition and shot-to-shot predictability, critical traits in a self-defense scenario. This is ammunition built for the shooter who carries a 32 H&R revolver and refuses compromise on terminal performance.
Each box contains 20 rounds loaded to specifications optimized for 32 H&R—no one-size-fits-all approach, just ammunition tailored to the cartridge's capabilities. If you're running a 32 H&R wheelgun for EDC or backup, Hydra-Shok Deep deserves a spot in your carry rotation.
