The Federal American Eagle .38 Super +P 115gr jacketed hollow point load (Federal part no. AE38S3) is American Eagle handgun ammunition built for target practice. Federal designs the American Eagle line to give recoil and velocity similar to self-defense and competition loads, so practice feels familiar and realistic. The 115-grain bullet leaves the muzzle at 1130 fps with 326 foot-pounds of energy, loaded with clean-burning powders, Federal primers and brass. It makes sense for range practice with a .38 Super pistol, popular in competition 1911 builds. Federal Ammunition sells it in a 50-round box.
