380 Auto – 85 gr Punch JHP – Federal (PD380P1) – 200 Rounds

The .380 Auto 85 gr Punch JHP Federal (PD380P1) load delivers focused defensive performance for shooters who carry compact and subcompact pistols. It uses the Federal Punch Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) projectile, engineered for reliable expansion and consistent penetration from short barrels. Because of this design, the load suits buyers focused on personal defense, carry rotation, and function validation in small-frame handguns. Many shooters select Punch ammunition when they want dependable terminal behavior without excessive recoil.

Federal loads the PD380P1 to a muzzle velocity of 1,000 fps and a muzzle energy of 189 ft-lbs from standard test barrels. These ballistics create a balanced recoil impulse that supports fast follow-up shots. As a result, shooters experience improved control and consistent sight alignment during defensive drills. In addition, the lighter 85-grain bullet weight enhances reliability in compact pistols while maintaining stable flight characteristics. Consequently, the load performs well in modern .380 Auto platforms designed for concealed carry.

This product ships as 20 rounds per box and 10 boxes per case (200 rounds total). Therefore, buyers receive an ideal quantity for carry testing, rotation planning, and ongoing training. Federal manufactures Punch ammunition with reloadable brass cases and non-corrosive Boxer primers, ensuring dependable ignition and smooth feeding. Furthermore, Federal’s quality standards emphasize uniform velocities and consistent performance across production lots.

While optimized for defensive use, the .380 Auto 85 gr Punch JHP Federal (PD380P1) also appeals to shooters who want confidence in their carry ammunition. Ultimately, it delivers controlled expansion, manageable recoil, and trusted Federal reliability in a purpose-built .380 Auto defensive load.
