Federal - HST Jacketed Hollow Point - 147 Grain 9mm Ammo - 50 Rounds

This 9mm round is from Federal’s Tactical label, and features the ferocious, barrier-blind performance of the HST projectile. When the HST encounters an obstacle such as heavy clothing, plywood, or sheet metal, it powers through without losing a significant portion of its weight thanks to the strong cannelure that mechanically unites its core and jacket. Even through safety glass this 147 grain bullet keeps over 90 percent of its weight during the FBI test protocol!

The HST doesn’t simply boast superior weight retention. Its hollow point nose cavity resists clogging with detritus before it unleashes catastrophic expansion, dumping its energy within its target before grinding to a halt before it can pose a risk of overpenetration.

A great self-defense round must be ultra reliable, which this one does in spades. Federal’s primer and propellant deliver a constant chamber pressure and muzzle velocity, and their nickel plated brass casing reduces metal-on-metal friction to promote efficient cycling in a semi-automatic. The HST’s graceful nose profile also feeds smoothly!
