20 Rounds of 124gr JHP 9mm +P Ammo by Federal

Looking for the same kind of 9mm +P ammunition for self-defense that law enforcement professionals count on in the field? Federal Personal Defense HST is identical to Federal Tactical HST – it just comes 20 rounds to a box instead of 50.

Federal designs this ammunition to pass the FBI test protocol with flying colors. When fired into a block of ballistic gelatin that’s shielded by one layer of denim, one layer of fleece, and two layers of cotton fabric, the 124 grain HST jacketed hollow point retains 91.9% of its weight, penetrates to a depth of 13”, and increases in diameter by 71.8%. The HST JHP delivers similarly exemplary terminal ballistics when the ballistic gel is shielded by other barriers including steel, sheetrock and plywood, so you can count on delivering the wide and deep wound channel that can halt even the most determined assailant’s advance.

Federal promotes even more reliable performance by loading Personal Defense HST cartridges with nickel-plated brass cases. Nickel reduces metal-on-metal friction during feeding and extraction to help a semi-auto function correctly, and it also guards against gradual corrosion in storage and in the magazine.

As 9mm +P, this ammo will produce stouter recoil as well as strike its target with greater kinetic energy – but you must make certain your handgun or carbine is rated for overpressure ammunition or else you risk destroying it.
