Federal Syntech Defense 45 ACP 205 Grain Semi-Jacketed Hollow Point Ammunition

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