Federal’s HST ammunition delivers the consistent expansion and optimum penetration required for effective self-defense. It is already the duty load of choice for law enforcement officers throughout the world. The specially designed hollow point won’t plug while passing through a variety of barriers, and the bullet jacket and core hold together to provide nearly 100 percent weight retention through even the toughest materials.
The hollow point expands reliably through a variety of barriers, while the expanded diameter and weight retention produce the desired penetration for personal defense situations without overpenetrating. The ammunition demonstrates superior performance in FBI test protocol, the standard used by law enforcement officials to assess and select duty ammunition.
A nickel-plated case, specially designed bullet nose profile, and high-performance primer provide the ultimate in function and reliability. This 44 Rem. Magnum load with a 230-grain projectile offers more energy than 10mm Auto and 357 Magnum and delivers better control and less overpenetration than a full magnum 44 Rem. Magnum hunting load.
