Fed Prm Hst 380acp 99gr Jhp 20/200

Federal Premium HST 380 ACP 99-grain Jacketed Hollow Point ammunition is purpose-built for subcompact handguns designed around concealed carry. The .380 ACP cartridge delivers reliable ballistics in lightweight, easily-concealable platforms where traditional full-size duty rounds are impractical. This load achieves 1,030 feet per second velocity—optimized for the inherent velocity limitations of short-barrel .380 pistols—while the HST hollow point design ensures consistent expansion and controlled penetration across the velocity envelope of subcompact .380 firearms.

The 99-grain projectile weight and propellant selection are engineered for reliable feeding and chambering in single-stack, pocket-sized .380 designs where ammunition sensitivity is critical. HST technology features a robust hollow-point cavity that resists clogging with intermediate barriers—a real-world concern in personal defense scenarios. The brass casing and Federal's quality control ensure consistent primer ignition and pressure curves, delivering shot-to-shot uniformity essential for point-of-aim accuracy from snub-nosed platforms. Twenty rounds ship per box, supporting cost-effective training and qualification cycles.

This ammunition is built for armed citizens and off-duty personnel who rely on .380 ACP carry guns—Ruger LCP, Sig Sauer P238, Beretta Pico, and similar subcompact platforms. The HST round balances the recoil management demands of ultra-light pistols with terminal performance expectations of defensive ammunition. Federal Premium Personal Defense Micro HST is a proven choice for shooters who understand that .380 ACP, while modest in ballistics, demands ammunition engineered specifically for short-barrel performance and controlled expansion at reduced velocity.
