.30 Super Carry (original) (raw)

.30 Super Carry is a rimless pistol cartridge introduced by Federal Premium in early 2022. It was designed as a competitor to 9×19mm Luger and .380 ACP for use in semi-automatic handguns, where its smaller dimensions are intended to permit greater magazine capacity without increasing physical magazine size. The cartridge's ballistic performance is purported by its manufacturers to rival that of 9×19 Luger. The round when initially released by Federal was loaded for 45,000 pounds per square inch (psi). The maximum pressure rating for a cartridge is 52,000psi.
