Product Overview
Federal American Eagle .32 ACP 71gr FMJ is a straightforward practice round from one of America's most established ammunition makers. The 71-grain bullet at 900 fps produces 128 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. This is a standard-pressure load that runs well in older pistols where you might hesitate to use hotter ammunition.
The American Eagle line is Federal's value offering, giving you the quality control of a major manufacturer without premium pricing. This makes it practical for regular range trips with your .32 ACP pistol. The FMJ bullet profile cycles smoothly through semi-autos like the Seecamp LWS 32, Beretta 3032 Tomcat, or classic designs like the Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless.
Use this load for maintaining familiarity with your backup gun or training new shooters on a mild-recoiling platform. The .32 ACP's light recoil makes it a good choice for people sensitive to muzzle blast or those with hand strength limitations. Keep your hollow points for carry and run this FMJ for practice.
