Federal Premium Personal Defense Micro Ammunition 380 ACP 99 Grain Hydra-Shok Deep Jacketed Hollow Point 20RD

Federal Premium Personal Defense Micro 380 ACP ammunition is built specifically for shooters who carry compact, lightweight handguns for self-defense. This 20-round box contains 99-grain Hydra-Shok Deep hollow-point rounds engineered to deliver the terminal performance you need in a platform that wasn't always well-served by defensive ammo. The pairing of heavy bullet weight with optimized propellant means your subcompact cycles reliably and shoots more comfortably than with standard loads—less felt recoil, less noise, same stopping intent.

The Hydra-Shok Deep design has been refined through Federal's decades of law enforcement and civilian defensive ammunition research. The hollow-point cavity and internal geometry work together to achieve controlled expansion while maintaining the penetration depth needed in real-world self-defense scenarios. Bullet construction and weight retention mean the round stays together on impact, delivering energy where it matters rather than over-penetrating through the target.

Reliability matters when your life depends on it. Federal pairs their premium bullet design with nickel-plated cases and Federal primers—components chosen to feed, fire, and extract without hiccup in semi-automatic platforms. Clean-burning, low-flash propellants reduce muzzle flash in low-light encounters and make follow-up shots faster and more accurate. If you're carrying a 380 for everyday protection, Federal Premium Personal Defense Micro gives you ammunition that respects both your gun's limitations and your responsibility as a defensive shooter.
