Federal Premium Premium Personal Defense 45 ACP Ammo 230 Grain Federal HST Jacketed Hollow Point

Federal Premium Personal Defense HST Ammunition has been specifically engineered to provide greater terminal performance, optimal penetration, and continuous, amazing expansion. The jacket and core stay together, retaining almost all of the weight, and the specifically made hollow point won’t plug when going through a variety of obstacles! This ammunition was designed to meet or surpass ammunition testing standards, which measure the bullets’ ability to penetrate, expand, and hold together by passing them through 10% ordinance gelatin, steel, wallboard, plywood, laminated car safety glass, and gelatin covered in heavy clothing.

When fired via a Smith & Wesson M&P at 10 feet, the 45 ACP load will, on average, provide 12.92″ of penetration, 0.81″ of expansion, and 99% weight retention through all FBI obstacles, according to extensive testing.

High-quality features that make this ammunition an excellent option for self-defense are only one of its many wonderful qualities. A Federal Premium nickel-plated brass case with priming and case mouth waterproofing is used to hold each round of ammunition. For consistent ignition, each load has a constant powder charge and dependable primer. Each HST bullet has patented co-aligned internal and external skiving, a deep tapered jacket profile for dependable feeding, and a cannelure that secures the copper jacket to the lead core hollow point that will not clog.
