Federal Personal Defense Punch Ammunition 44 Special 180 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point 20RD

Federal's Personal Defense Punch .44 Special rounds deliver serious stopping power for shooters who depend on revolver cartridges for home defense. This 180-grain jacketed hollow point load combines Federal Ammunition's decades of defensive ammunition engineering with the proven stopping authority of .44 Special, making it a capable choice for shooters using modern revolvers or lever-actions in this classic caliber. Each box contains 20 rounds built on nickel-plated brass with sealed primers to ensure dependable feeding and reliable ignition—critical basics that matter when it counts.

The Punch series was purpose-built for personal defense, with each bullet carefully selected and constructed to deliver optimal terminal performance in real-world scenarios. At roughly 815 feet per second and 265 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, this load balances power with controllability, especially valuable in the .44 Special, which favors manageable recoil without sacrificing effectiveness at the distances typical of defensive encounters.
