200rds - 9mm Federal 150gr. HST Micro JHP Ammo

Federal Ammunition 150 Grain Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Ammo Details

Federal HST ammunition is designed to meet the self-defense needs of law enforcement officers and makes an excellent CCW load as well. Each 9mm Luger cartridge in this case of 200 fires a heavy 150 grain jacketed hollow point bullet with a skived tip designed to expand into six petals upon impact with a target. This 150 gr "micro" load was designed and optimized specifically for short barrel compact pistols with their lower muzzle velocities in mind. The high weight of the bullet provides better penetration and keeps muzzle velocity to a subsonic level of 900 feet per second. This ammo is loaded in Anoka, Minnesota using non-corrosive primers and brass cases.
