Federal Syntech Defense 9mm 138gr Hollow Point Ammunition

Federal’s Syntech Defense 9mm 138 Grain Semi Jacketed Hollow Point ammunition delivers dynamic terminal performance through a hollow-point design that separates into three segments and a deep-penetrating core upon impact. The core penetrates 12 to 18 inches through bare ballistics gel—a critical benchmark in self-defense situations and the best terminal performance of any round in its class. The three petals create secondary channels, each exceeding 6 inches in depth, to enhance the terminal effect. Like all Syntech loads, the advanced polymer jacket eliminates lead and copper fouling while drastically reducing damaging heat and friction in the barrel. Federal’s exclusive Catalyst primer delivers hot, extremely reliable ignition without the use of lead.
