Federal .32 H&R Mag. JSP Ammunition

Federal Ammunition has recently added another target load for .32 H&R Mag revolver shooters with the recent introduction of the Federal American Eagle 85-grain .32 H&R Mag JSP load.

During the past few years, the world of revolvers has been experiencing a resurgence in the mild-shooting but classic .32 caliber revolver cartridges, following the introduction of.32 caliber revolver models such as the Smith & Wesson 432 Ultimate Carry J-frame, the Ruger LCR .32 H&R and the Taurus 327 TORO.

In addition to serving shooters who own .32 H&R Mag. revolvers, this new cartridge from Federal is also useful for those who own any revolver that handles .327 Federal Mag. and are looking for a reduced-recoil or milder training load.

“This new 32 H&R 85-grain JSP load is a perfect target shooting and training load for use with all the new guns from Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Taurus and more,” said Chris Laack, Federal handgun ammunition product manager. “It provides recoil and velocities similar to those of self-defense, offering a familiar feel and realistic practice.”

This new handgun load features clean-burning powders, reliable Federal primers, reloadable brass cases, and quality, accurate bullets and is sold in 50-count boxes.
