Federal American Eagle .38 Super Auto +P 115-grain jacketed hollow point ammunition (brand part no. AE38S3) gives range shooters a practice round that mirrors the feel of their carry loads. Federal Ammunition builds American Eagle to run at the same pressures and recoil impulse as comparable self-defense and competition ammunition, so trigger time on the range translates directly to performance when it counts. The +P loading pushes velocity above standard .38 Super pressures, and the jacketed hollow point profile echoes the shape of true defensive rounds without the premium price tag. Packed in brass cases, this handgun ammunition is built for shooters who train seriously and don’t want surprises at the range or at the counter.
