Description
Federal American Eagle .380 ACP ammunition is built for people who want to spend serious time at the range without breaking the bank. This is practice ammo done right, with the kind of performance that keeps pocket gun owners coming back.
The 95-grain full metal jacket bullet is the gold standard for .380 practice. It cycles reliably through most modern .380 pistols, from the Ruger LCP to the Glock 42, with smooth feeding and minimal fouling. The FMJ design won't expand, which means less cleanup after your session and better barrel protection during extended shooting.
What Makes Federal American Eagle .380 ACP Stand Out
Federal loads this ammo with clean-burning powder and quality primers, so you're not left with heavy residue coating the inside of your gun. The brass cases are reloadable if you ever want to stretch your investment further. You get 980 fps velocity and 203 foot-pounds of energy, which provides ballistic performance close enough to defensive loads to give you realistic practice without the cost of actual defense ammunition.
Built for High-Volume Training
The beauty of American Eagle is that it doesn't cut corners. Everything here is brass, everything is non-corrosive, and everything is designed to work. People routinely run hundreds of rounds through their carry guns with zero issues. Whether you're refining concealed carry skills, breaking in a new pistol, or just staying sharp, this ammunition delivers the consistency you expect from Federal.

How does this ammo compare to defense loads for practice?
