    Federal 30 Super Carry

    https://www.federalpremium.com/30supercarry.html

    Federal has a new cartridge out called the 30 Super Carry. 30 caliber, 100 grain bullet, shot at 1150-1200 FPS. Holds 2 extra rounds per mag over a 9mm with less recoil.

    I'm not viewing this as a 9mm replacement but i think it would be a great 380 replacement for sub compact guns.

    I been researching this round. I see the benefit over 380 in a micro pistol. But I was hoping for 762x25 ballistics in a full size duty pistol for woods work.

    Already seen some ads for it online. No doubt they have gotten some gun manufacturers on board for production. I see two listed already.

    Seems like a +p .380 to me, which "on paper" is not a bad thing. If it has the reliability of a 9mm as to penetration and expansion, and added capacity of .380, and or smaller pistols with superior terminal ballistics than .380, then it has potential to be a winner in my view. Cost and availability will be a big factor there as to any interests too.

    Friends don't let friends CCW .380...

    It's like a really juiced 32 ACP.

    Wonder what the price point will be? With ammo so expensive will it be able to get a foothold in the market? IDK.

    When pistol calibers only punch holes and nothing more, going smaller isn't a good idea IMO. Would be interested in knowing the expanded size though...

    The HST expands to .530" vs .570" for 9mm through heavy clothing, so very close.

    Who knows. Perhaps this will make a nice PDW round.

    Since S&W has picked it up with their Shield Plus and Shield EZ and the fact that their newest development has just been made public in the last few day, if this cartridge sticks around I imagine we will see a CSX in this caliber before too long…

    It's 100g vs 99g for .380, so heavier than .380, so larger than any 32 ACP.

    The 50kpsi pressure is interesting. A quad-stack magazine would be less of a brick than the Surefire 60.
