HYDRA SHOK FULL

Hydra-Shok Deep 380 scores a blistering 1,000 feet per second at the muzzle and delivers full expansion in both the bare gel and heavy clothing tests when shot from a variety of common compact handguns. вЂњDuring development, engineers looked at several design elements such as bullet weight, jacket, skiving, profile, and hollow point design elements to determine what modifications were necessary for the 380 Auto. We didnвЂ™t just take a 45 ACP, 40 S&W or 9mm Hydra-Shok Deep bullet and make it smaller,вЂќ said Laack. The bullet and load are also fine-tuned to ensure delivery of consistent performance across all handgun platforms, including ones with longer barrels, to stay within that 13- to 14-inch goal range. Test gun barrel lengths were from common, compact handguns ranging from 2 Вѕ to 3 ВЅ inches.

Testing done by Federal ammunition engineers in their Anoka, Minnesota facilities showed typical results of 13 to 13 ВЅ inches of penetration in bare gel and 13 Вј to 14 inches through heavy clothing. вЂњWhile our larger caliber ammunition is designed to meet and exceed these requirements, the smaller 380 Auto is designed to offer the best possible blend of performance in a compact handgun platform.вЂќ Bullets are shot through materials such as 10-percent ordinance gelatin, laminated automotive safety glass, plywood, wallboard and heavy clothing specified by the FBI,вЂќ said Federal Handgun Ammunition Product Manager Chris Laack. вЂњFBI protocol for handgun ammunition testing includes a series of rigorous scenarios.

Shipments of this product have begun to arrive at dealers. This new micro-handgun ammunition offering is the first expanding 380 Auto load to consistently penetrate beyond the FBI-recommended 12-inch minimum in bare gel and through heavy clothing. ANOKA, Minnesota вЂ“ JвЂ“ Federal Premium Hydra-Shok DeepвЂ™s bullet design brings the 380 Auto cartridge to all-new heights-or in this case, depths.
