Federal Punch 38 Special 120 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point Ammo 20RD
FederalFederal Punch 38 Special 120 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point Ammo
Federal Punch 38 Special 120 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point ammunition is designed specifically for personal-defense applications. Drawing from Federal's experience developing defensive handgun ammunition, Punch focuses on providing a practical balance of expansion, penetration, reliability, and value.
Each cartridge is loaded with a 120 grain Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) projectile featuring a skived jacket and soft lead core. Federal pairs the defensive projectile with a nickel-plated brass case and sealed primer for dependable performance in a carry or home-defense revolver.
120 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point
The 120 grain Punch JHP is designed to provide a balanced combination of expansion and penetration. Its hollow-point cavity, skived jacket, and soft lead core work together to promote controlled projectile deformation after impact.
Federal developed the Punch projectile specifically as an accessible defensive ammunition option rather than simply adapting a conventional range bullet for personal protection.
Skived Jacket & Soft Lead Core
The bullet's skived jacket incorporates strategically formed cuts that help the jacket open during expansion. Combined with the soft lead core, this construction is designed to provide consistent expansion while maintaining the penetration needed from a defensive handgun load.
Nickel-Plated Brass Cases
Federal loads Punch ammunition in nickel-plated brass cases. The nickel-plated finish is well suited to defensive ammunition, providing a smooth case surface that supports reliable loading and extraction while also offering additional corrosion resistance compared with untreated brass.
Sealed Primer for Defensive Reliability
Each cartridge also incorporates a sealed primer. Federal combines the sealed primer with its nickel-plated case and purpose-built JHP projectile to create ammunition designed around dependable ignition and function when needed.
