Centerfire Handgun Ammo

Centerfire Handgun Ammo

Red River Reloading offers a great selection of centerfire handgun ammunition. There are many types of ammunition available and many types of bullets available from different manufacturers. Each type of bullet has a specific purpose and some are designed for multiple uses. Please make yourself familiar with the different types of handgun ammunition and read the specifications for each type. Purchasing the right ammunition might make the difference between a dead or wounded animal or criminal.

Bullet Type Glossary

AP: armor-piercing
Are bullets designed for the Military or Police. These bullets usually contain a steel or tungsten core that might penetrate steel armor and other types of armor. AP ammunition usually has a painted black tip for identification. AP bullets are illegal to own for handguns. https://www.atf.gov/file/11266/download

API: armor-piercing incendiary

That same type of bullet that is designed to penetrate armor or other objects but additionally will detonate with a bright flash at approximately 3,000 degree Fahrenheit. General used to ignite flamable materials but are also used as spotters. The tips of API ammunition is usually painted light blue. Like AP ammunition, they are illegal to own for handguns.

BBWC: bevel-base wad cutter
BBWC is a pistol bullet that's flat on both ends and has a beveled base to increase it's accuracy potential which is similar to a boat-tail bullet.

BEB: brass-enclosed base
Pistol bullet with brass plug over exposed lead base to reduce lead exposure. Many indoor ranges now specify use of this bullet to decrease lead contamination.

BJHP: brass-jacketed hollow point
Defensive pistol bullet that controls mushrooming and energy release over longer distances.

BST: Ballistic Silver tip
Used with hunting rifles, this Winchester bullet has a soft metal tip that causes rapid expansion and penetration of bullet. Typically used for varminting and hunting light- and medium-size game.

BT: boat-tail
Rifle bullet with truncated conical shape at base of bullet. Streamlining stabilizes bullet and increases accuracy.

BTHP: boat-tail hollow point
Same as plain boat-tail but with a hollow point, which generates rapid expansion and penetration.

BTSP: boat-tail soft point
Like the plain boat-tail but with a soft point to increase penetration and expansion from exposed lead tip.

BRPT: bronze point
Bronze insert in tip improves trajectory, velocity and energy transfer at extreme ranges.Tip expands rapidly when driven back through bullet. Excellent design for hunting long-range medium-size game.

CC: copper-coated
Same as full-metal-jacket. Copper coating prevents bullet deformation in feed mechanism and barrel, reduces misfires and lowers risk of barrel damage.

CP: copper-plated
Lead bullet dipped in copper; reduces lead fouling and is cheaper than copper coating.

CL: Core-Lokt
Remington's premier bonded bullet. Retains up to 95% of original weight with maximum penetration and energy transfer. Progressively tapered jacket initiates and controls expansion nearly 2x. Unique design and bonded lead core delivers performance from 50to 500 yards.

ENCAP: encapsulated
Totally plated on all sides to decrease environmental lead contamination. Many indoor ranges use this ammunition exclusively to reduce lead clean-up costs.

EFMJ: expanding full metal jacket
Federal's answer to areas with restrictions on hollow points. A regular full-metal-jacket bullet with front rubber core covered by a copper jacket. When fired into target media,copper jacket collapses along serrations, produces petal-like expansion and delivers energy without over-penetration.

EP: Expanding Point
Winchester-developed bullet for .25ACP for better stopping power for small calibers.Hollow point with round lead ball inserted into cavity ensures positive feed, increases expansion and transfers energy rapidly.

ERBT: Extended-Range Boat-tail
Remington bullet that produces long-range accuracy along with superior stopping power required for hunting.

FMC: full-metal case
Lead core fully enclosed with copper, nickel, brass or steel.

FMJ: full-metal jacket
Military round specified by Geneva Convention. Metal surrounds lead or steel core to prevent additional mushrooming of bullet, which may cause inhumane wounding.Usually has lead-exposed base.

FMJBT: full-metal-jacket boat-tail
Like FMJ but has a boat-tail to reduce turbulence and increase accuracy.

FMJE: full-metal-jacket encapsulated
Like FMJ but also has covered base and doesn't expose any lead.

FPJ: flat-point jacketed
FMJ with a flat point. Most .40 S&W and .30-30 Winchester rounds have this design.The .30-30 Winchester has a tubular magazine and uses a flat-point bullet to prevent accidental detonation during recoil, as front round's primer may come in contact with point of round following it.

FPPN: Flat Point Penetrator
The Flat Point Penetrator was specifically designed to take down big game in Africa. The bullet features a hard lead core that is surrounded by a copper jacket. The bullet is very accurate and produces bone breaking capabilities in one package.

FNSP: flat-nose soft-point
Similar to the FPJ but has lead-exposed point that expands on impact. Used for hunting.

FRAN: frangible
Prevents ricochet by breaking apart on contact. Can be made from empty cartridge cases filled with epoxy and compressed bird shot, metal dust or filings. Developed for air marshals to avoid over-penetration and ricochet aboard airplanes. All energy is transferred to the target, making it a devastating defensive bullet.

GCK: gas check
Metallic cup or disc is attached to bottom of lead-alloy bullet. Decreases gas blow-by,increases velocity and reduces lead fouling.

GDHP: Gold Dot hollow point
Speer's hollow point bullet with jacket bonded to lead core to prevent separation and control expansion and penetration.

GS: Grand Slam
Speer's design for hunting big game. Jacket is 45% bigger at base to prevent rollback and retain bullet's weight. Internal jacket flutes ensure proper expansion. Bullet's core is aternary (three-part) alloy, which is poured into jacket at 900 degrees F to prevent jacket slippage.

HBWC: hollow-base wad cutter
Preferred by some target shooters, this flat lead bullet with hollow base punches neat,round holes in paper targets and makes scoring easier. Creates better gas seal to prevent gas blow-by and increase velocity.

HSHK: Hydra-Shok
Federal's handgun defense bullet. Unique center-post design delivers controlled expansion. Notched jacket transfers energy efficiently and penetrates barriers while retaining stopping power.

HP: hollow point
Hollow cavity in bullet's nose allows expansion on impact.

HPBT: hollow point boat-tail
Rifle bullet with a truncated conical shape at base of bullet. Hollow cavity in nose allows expansion on impact.

HSP: hollow soft point
Exposed lead point and hollow cavity in nose permits expansion on impact.

HV: high velocity
Ammunition with velocity over 1,200 feet per second.

JFP: jacketed flat point
Flat lead point and full metal jacket. All .30-30 Winchesters have this bullet design.The .30-30 Winchester has a tubular magazine and uses a flat-point bullet to prevent accidental detonation during recoil, as front round's primer may come in contact with point of round following it.

JHC: jacketed hollow cavity
Jacketed bullet with hole in tip to promote expansion on impact.

JHP: jacketed hollow point
Jacketed bullet with hole in tip to promote expansion on impact.


JSP: jacketed soft point
Jacketed bullet with hole in tip to promote expansion on impact.

L: lead
An all-lead bullet.

NP: Nosler Partition
Has two lead cores separated by bullet jacket. Top part of jacket is thin and promotes expansion of bullet. Bottom part of bullet has thicker jacket that retains bullet's weight,stops fragmentation and increases penetration.

PEP: Positive Expanding Point
Specially designed by Winchester for extreme accuracy and maximum impact on varmints and medium-size game.

PG: Partition Gold
Winchester's proprietary design delivers expansion and penetration on medium- and large-size game at wide range of impact velocities. Rear core is hard lead alloy, locked in place with a heel crimp to prevent core slippage and maximize penetration. Patented steel cup reinforces prevents core distortion at high-impact velocities.

PL: Power-Lokt
Remington's revolutionary varmint and small-game bullet produces bench rest-level accuracy. Copper jacket is electrolytically bonded to lead core, producing near-perfect concentricity and gyroscopic balance, once available only in custom-made match bullets.Exceptional sub-minute-of-angle accuracy for small game at extreme ranges.

PP: Power-Point
