Federal Hi-Shok Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) 147 Grain 9mm Luger (9x19) Ammo - 50 Rounds

Since its introduction in 1902 by Georg Luger, 9mm Luger ball ammo, especially the purposes for war (Parabellum) has been prized for its target shooting economy as well as battlefield dependability. Concern, however, over its speed and mass have raised issues of overpenetration. Especially as a consideration for a self or home defense option. Fortunately, the versatility of the round allows for many different bullet types to be loaded onto the case making it ideal for purpose specific applications. Such is the case with this 147 grain jacketed hollow point bullet by Federal, which maxes out with a muzzle velocity of 1000 feet per second but still manages to maintain 326 foot pounds of energy. This is the “heavy and slow” version of the 9mm designed to expand after contact and transfer all of its kinetic energy into the target, reducing those concerns of over penetration. This is perfectly suited for personal defense.

Federal’s founding dates to 1922 in Minnesota where it was quickly identified as a manufacturer of premium quality sporting ammunition. Today, their line of personal defense ammo is trusted by citizen and law enforcement alike. The jacketed hollow point defense rounds are loaded in reloadable cases for additional value for shooters who handload their ammunition.
