Federal American Eagle 30 Super Carry 100 Grain FMJ – 50 Rounds
$22.85Manufacturer 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 45.7¢ 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! -
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!
