Federal PD380P1 Punch 380 ACP 85gr JHP Personal Defense Ammo 20rd

The Federal PD380P1 Punch delivers reliable expansion and penetration specifically engineered for compact 380 ACP pistols. This personal defense ammunition addresses the historical challenges of 380 ACP performance with advanced bullet design that meets FBI protocol standards.

What Makes This Different

Federal Punch ammunition features a skived jacket design that promotes consistent expansion even through heavy clothing and intermediate barriers. Unlike standard 380 ACP hollow points that often fail to expand reliably, the Punch bullet maintains structural integrity while achieving optimal penetration depths of 12-18 inches in ballistic gelatin. The nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and provide smooth feeding in semi-automatic pistols.

Key Features

• 85-grain jacketed hollow point bullet optimized for 380 ACP velocities
• Skived jacket design ensures reliable expansion through barriers
• Nickel-plated brass cases for enhanced feeding and extraction
• Consistent muzzle velocity of approximately 1,000 fps from 3.75" barrel
• Meets FBI penetration standards for personal defense applications

This ammunition performs consistently across various barrel lengths common in subcompact pistols, from 2.7" to 4" barrels. The bullet design maintains expansion characteristics even when fired through multiple layers of denim, addressing real-world defensive scenarios. Federal's quality control ensures reliable ignition and consistent ballistic performance shot after shot.
