Get a case of 30 Super Carry ammo! Federal’s the company that introduced the 30 SC to the market, and their American Eagle line of ammo is just what you need to take to the range and start carving up bullseyes.
This round’s 100 grain full metal jacket has the 30 SC’s characteristic flat nose profile. It assures smooth feeding in any manufacturer’s pistol, and it has the nice advantage of punching an easy-to-read hole through a target. The bullet’s copper-alloy jacket and lead core can’t do anything to a magnet, so you have free license to fire it at a range which prohibits magnetic ammo. We wouldn’t volunteer to get shot with an FMJ ourselves, but that’s not to say you shouldn’t get jacketed hollow point rounds for actual self-defense applications.
Brass-cased, Boxer-primed and clean-shooting, Federal’s American Eagle ammo is a long-standing favorite at American ranges. This case of ammo is parceled out into 20 individual boxes. -
Federal American Eagle 30 Super Carry 100 Grain FMJ – 50 Rounds
$24.85Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 100 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 50 Ammo Caliber 30 Super Carry Manufacturer SKU AE30SCA Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544678017 Cost Per Round 49.7¢ per round The 30 Super Carry is an marvelous concept: comparable performance to the massively popular 9mm, but in a smaller package that permits greater magazine capacity. But however well-designed a cartridge might be, it still needs a skilled shooter for it to be wielded effectively during a fight.
This is the ammunition you need to train with your 30 Super Carry pistol. Federal’s American Eagle line of 30 Super Carry ammunition has the same bullet weight and muzzle velocity as their Personal Defense HST series ammo. In other words, this ammo delivers virtually identical performance to the more expensive self-defense loads.
The FMJ bullet will serve you better at the range than during a life or death situation, as its flat nose solid point profile cannot deliver terminal expansion. But the bullet will feed smoothly, and its nonmagnetic jacket and core suit it perfectly for training at all ranges.
American Eagle ammo is always brass-cased, always non-corrosive, and always a good choice for target shooting. Made in Minnesota, land of ice fishing and never winning the Super Bowl! -

But Blazer Brass ammo? Well, it’s exactly as brass-cased as you might assume. That makes this ammo the perfect pick for any handloader who’s eager to test their skills on the still somewhat newish 30 Super Carry cartridge!
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves – you will have to fire this ammo before you can reload it. You will approve of Blazer’s full metal jacket projectiles, which have consistent 115 grain weights and concentric gilding metal jackets to promote good accuracy. Blazer’s FMJ does not have any steel in its jacket or core, so it can’t do anything to a magnet, and its flat nose profile equals satisfying results when your sights are set on a paper target.
This Idaho-made ammo’s non-corrosive Boxer primers and uniform measures of propellant team up to supply a real steady 1,150 fps muzzle velocity (assuming the handgun has a 4” barrel). That equates to manageable recoil and a flat trajectory at the same time! -
Federal Personal Defense HST 30 Super Carry 100 Grain JHP – 20 Rounds
$30.25Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 100 Grain Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Use Type home defense Casing Type Nickel-Plated Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 30 Super Carry Manufacturer SKU P30HST1S Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 604544669961 Cost Per Round $1.51 per round The concept behind the 30 Super Carry is genius: comparable accuracy and energy delivery to the 9mm, but in a narrower cartridge that takes up less space in a magazine. Of course, concept alone doesn’t make a self-defense cartridge great. It needs a resilient, fast-expanding bullet to reliably incapacitate a threat when your life is in imminent danger.
Federal’s Personal Defense HST series cartridge does it all. The 100 grain JHP does not have a bonded jacket. Nevertheless, it retains virtually all of its weight as it passes through thick fabric and other common barriers. That’s the key to the JHP’s consistent and effective penetration depth – an average of 15.5 inches after passing through heavy clothing.
This round’s JHP also expands to an average of 0.53 inches after passing through clothing, which means it increases in diameter by about 70 percent. That guarantees a debilitating wound channel accompanied by a significantly reduced risk of dangerous overpenetration. The JHP’s special nose cavity is engineered to avoid becoming gummed up with debris that could have impacted its ability to catalyze terminal expansion.
We would always rather have nickel-plated brass cases for our self-defense ammo. They make each round easier to spot in the chamber, promote more reliable feeding and extraction, and additionally protect against corrosion. Made in Minnesota!
