Federal - Jacketed Hollow Point - 230 Grain 45 ACP Ammo - 1000 Rounds

If you prefer 45 ACP 230 grain ammunition for self-defense, then you have just located a motherlode of some of the very best on the market. This is Federal Premium Law Enforcement Tactical HST 45 Auto: developed to meet the FBI’s standards for duty ammunition, and available for sale to law enforcement officers and non-LEOs alike.

This cartridge features Federal Premium’s premium self-defense projectile. The HST jacketed hollow point has a nose cavity that consistently passes through barriers without losing its ability to expand as a result of getting obstructed by debris. The HST is not a bonded bullet, although it is still extremely rugged regardless. When the bullet strikes a block of ballistic gel shielded by thick fabric at a range of approximately 25 yards, it retains over 99% of its weight, penetrates to a depth of around 13.5”, and almost doubles in diameter before finally coming to a rest. (Federal recorded this round’s 890 fps muzzle velocity with a 5” barrel.)

The HST bullet’s nose profile and its nickel-plated brass case are both designed to optimize functionality in all makes and models of handguns. Its nickel plating also protects the ammo from corrosion that can cause an FTF when you least want one to happen.
