Federal Personal Defense HST 9mm Ammunition - 200 Rounds of 124 Grain JHP

What you’re most comfortable firing. What your handgun cycles most reliably. What you can afford. Several factors determine which 9mm ammo you’ll find is best for self-defense. But with that all said, Federal Premium Personal Defense HST is unquestionably one of the very best – if not the best – on the market.

This is true law enforcement grade ammo; only its packaging makes it different from Federal Premium Law Enforcement Tactical HST. The HST jacketed hollow point bullet features a clog-resistant nose cavity, a non-bonded yet extremely durable jacket, and the capacity for broad terminal expansion under a wide range of conditions.

This ammo passes the FBI test protocol with soaring colors. If the 124 grain bullet is fired out of a 4” barrel and into ballistic gelatin positioned 10’ downrange, it will retain 100% of its weight, penetrate to a depth of 11”, and expand to a diameter of 0.880”. Its terminal performance is no less impressive when the gel is shielded by barriers:
• Heavy clothing - 100% weight retention, 12” penetration, 0.590” expansion
• Steel - 99% weight retention, 18” penetration, 0.390” expansion
• Wall board - 97% weight retention, 12.25” penetration, 0.650” expansion
• Plywood - 100% weight retention, 13” penetration, 0.630” expansion
• Safety glass - 89% weight retention, 9.25” penetration, 0.660” expansion

Federal goes the distance by loading this ammo with smooth-cycling and corrosion-resistant nickel-plated brass cases, as well as propellant that doesn’t emit blinding bright light when ignited.
