Description
The Federal 380 ACP 85gr Punch JHP load is built for shooters who want more from their .380 ACP than typical factory ammunition delivers. Federal loads a 85 grain Punch jacketed hollow point to a rated 1000 feet per second, producing about 189 foot-pounds of energy. Federal Punch was designed from the ground up for personal defense. It pairs a nickel-plated case with a jacketed hollow point engineered to penetrate deeply and expand reliably through heavy clothing, delivering the performance defenders need at a price that makes regular practice with carry ammo practical.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance Federal builds into every cartridge.
Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the Federal 380 ACP 85gr Punch JHP until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
