Fed Hs Dp 38spl+p 130gr 20/200

Federal Hydra-Shok Deep 38 Special +P ammunition delivers purpose-built performance for defensive handgun applications. This 130-grain load represents a modern evolution of Federal's time-tested Hydra-Shok platform, engineered to meet contemporary ballistic standards while maintaining the proven reliability law enforcement and armed citizens have trusted for decades.

The key to Hydra-Shok Deep's performance lies in its reinforced center post and advanced core design, which work together to achieve optimal penetration depths through common defensive barriers—clothing, drywall, vehicle glass, and heavy fabrics. The +P loading pushes velocity to maximize energy transfer while staying within safe pressure limits for standard .38 Special revolvers rated for +P ammunition. Federal's quality control ensures consistent case preparation, primer ignition, and powder charges across each round, critical factors for carry ammunition where reliability is non-negotiable.

This ammunition suits armed professionals and civilian defenders relying on .38 Special or .357 Magnum revolvers for personal protection. The 130-grain weight balances velocity with manageable recoil, making it controllable during rapid-fire sequences while maintaining terminal performance. Each box contains 20 rounds, with full cases of 200 rounds available for those who train regularly with their defensive load. Federal Hydra-Shok Deep remains a reference standard in revolver ammunition, preferred by LEOs and operators who demand ammunition that performs consistently across barrier-heavy real-world environments.
