Federal - HST Jacketed Hollow Point - 180 Grain 40 S&W Ammo - 50 Rounds

This 40 S&W cartridge from Federal’s Tactical line of ammunition features the Minnesotan innovator’s 180 grain HST, a self-defense bullet that excels during every phase of its job. The HST’s graceful nose profile feeds easily in a semi-automatic and boasts great aerodynamics. Its jacket and core hold tightly together even as it penetrates a tough barrier -- in FBI test protocol, this bullet retains 100 percent of its weight after having passed through heavy clothing, wall board, and plywood, and 95 percent in the case of safety glass! The HST’s nose cavity is designed to avoid plugging with a variety of debris, so you can count on the rapid expansion that lethal terminal performance and the aversion of hazardous overpenetration rely on. There is little wonder why so many LEOs’ preferred duty rounds have HST projectiles.

This cartridge’s sensitive Boxer primer and clean burning propellant charge deliver a stable and subsonic 1,010 fps muzzle velocity (in a 4” test barrel). Its casing is nickel plated in order to combat tarnishing, as well as to promote uninterrupted feeding and extraction in a semi-automatic weapon. Truly a great choice for any everyday carry!
