Federal - HST Jacketed Hollow Point - 124 Grain 9mm Ammo - 50 Rounds

The big setback you’re always going to be looking at with a hollow point is its tendency to clog up before it can transfer all of its energy. When you’ve got one of Federal’s HST rounds in your chamber, you can still count on good terminal performance even if your shot has to pass through a barrier. In FBI test protocol, this 9mm cartridge’s 124 grain projectile is consistently able to expand to over 1.5 times its original diameter after busting through heavy clothing, and it retains 100 percent of its weight. The bullet’s tough, tapered jacket is partly to thank for that, and it sports six notches that ensure deadly star-shaped expansion during penetration.

A self-defense load might have to sit a long time until it’s needed. That’s why this round’s brass casing is plated with nickel, which protects it against corrosion. The casing further enhances lubricity for more reliable feeding in a magazine-fed firearm, which along with its sensitive primer will keep you ready for action.
