FederalFederal Hydra-Shok 38 Special +P 129 Grain Hollow Point Ammo
Federal Hydra-Shok 38 Special +P 129 Grain Hollow Point ammunition is a purpose-built personal-defense load featuring Federal's time-tested Hydra-Shok projectile design. Each cartridge is loaded with a 129 grain center-post hollow point designed to provide a balance of penetration and consistent expansion.
This ammunition is loaded to 38 Special +P pressure specifications and is intended for compatible revolvers and other firearms specifically rated for +P ammunition. Each factory box contains 20 rounds.
Hydra-Shok Center-Post Hollow Point
The defining feature of Federal Hydra-Shok ammunition is its distinctive center-post hollow-point projectile. Federal designed this bullet architecture to provide optimized penetration while promoting consistent expansion for personal-defense applications.
The 129 grain projectile gives shooters a defensive alternative to conventional Full Metal Jacket ammunition when loading a compatible 38 Special firearm for personal protection.
38 Special +P Performance
This Hydra-Shok load carries a +P designation, indicating that it is loaded to higher pressure than standard-pressure 38 Special ammunition. The +P configuration is intended to provide enhanced ballistic performance from compatible firearms.
Always verify that your firearm is specifically rated for 38 Special +P ammunition before use. Older or standard-pressure-only 38 Special firearms may not be suitable for +P ammunition.
Designed for Personal Defense
Federal Hydra-Shok has been developed specifically around personal-defense handgun applications. Rather than using a non-expanding range projectile, the hollow-point bullet is designed to expand after impact while maintaining useful penetration.
