Federal plans to introduce several new pistol and revolver cartridge options in 2021. In all, at least nine new loads in the Minnesota-based company s Hydra-Shok Deep, Punch, Swift A-Frame, and Syntech Range lines are set to be produced and distributed this year. Hydra-Shok Deep Federal is adding .380 ACP and .38 Special+P loads to the Hydra-Shok Deep series for 2021 (Photo Federal) Designed to bring new potential to popular smaller cartridges, Federal s Hydra-Shok Deep runs a center post and compact core that consistently penetrates beyond the FBI s recommended 12-inch minimum in ballistic gel. New offerings to this line will include a 99-grain .380 Auto and 130-grain .38 Special+P. The loads join .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and 9mm Luger in Federal s catalog when it comes to Hydra-Shok Deep.
