2021 Brings New Offerings In Federal Handgun Ammo

I’ve fired lots of Federal handgun ammo through my guns over the years. This time of year is exciting because this is when many of the year’s new products are being introduced. And that includes some promising new loads from Federal Premium. Of course, with the high demand, we’ll be lucky if we can get our hands on any ammo at all this year.

For 2021, Federal Premium is extending several product lines with new loads in Hydra-Shok Deep, Punch, Syntech Range and others. New-for-2021 product launch highlights include:

Federal Handgun Ammo For Defense

Hydra-Shok Deep in 380 Auto and 38 Special should boost the defensive effectiveness potential of these less powerful cartridges. They utilize Hydra-Shok Deep’s robust center post and compact core to consistently penetrate beyond the FBI-recommended 12-inch minimum through bare gel and heavy clothing. 

Punch in 22 LR and 10mm Auto. Punch 22 LR uses a deep-penetrating bullet that makes the popular rimfire cartridge more effective as a self-defense option. The 10mm Auto load’s jacketed hollow point produces the best expansion and penetration in the category.

Federal Hydra-Shok Deep provides reliable expansion and deep penetration.

Loads For Handgun Hunting Too

Federal will now load the Swift A-Frame JHP in 327 Federal Magnum and 10mm Auto.

The A-Frame Jacketed Hollow Point bullet has a bonded front half which expands consistently across a broad velocity range, while the back half remains intact for deep penetration.

This bullet is ideal for hunting with handguns.

This Federal 10mm cartridge loaded with a Swift A-Frame bullet should see wide use with handgun hunters.

Federal Handgun Ammo For The Range

Also new are Syntech Range loads in 380 Auto, 38 Special and 10mm Auto. Syntech Range loads use the TSJ polymer jacket to eliminate metal fouling and drastically reduce damaging barrel heat and friction. Syntech ammunition offers a smoother, cleaner and safer experience when training and having fun at the range.

“In addition to launching new 2021 products, we are also continuing to stay focused on marketing the new products launched a year ago, such as our Solid Core and American Eagle IRT Lead Free ammo,” said Federal’s Handgun Product Line Manager Chris Laack. “Solid Core is intended for hunting and protection against dangerous animals. The deep-penetrating, hard Solid Core bullet holds together while blowing through bone, and its Syntech jacket reduces friction and leading. American Eagle IRT utilizes lead-free bullets and the Catalyst lead-free primer to offer the same shelf life and ballistics of conventional range ammo. It’s an ideal solution for those shooting at an indoor range that requires lead-free ammunition.”
