Federal Ammunition 180 Grain Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Ammo Details
If you're seeking a do-it-all round for your handgun or carbine chambered in .40 Smith & Wesson, then look no further. These cartridges from Federal's brand new "Train + Protect" label serve both practice and personal defense purposes with a versatile hollow point (VHP) bullet that is inexpensive enough to be used for paper targets without compromising performance on two-legged threats. The VHP in this load weighs in at 180 grains which means that performance will be consistent with some of the caliber's most popular options on the market. A deep cavity, wide mouth, and jacket serrations at the border with the lead core translate to dependable, wide expansion during entry into a threat.This causes the bullet to tumble and cause more permanent damage to flesh and organs in order to end a violent confrontation more efficiently. Other components that make up the round include reloadable brass casings, clean-sparking Boxer primers, and high-energy propellant. Train + Defend powder charges are specifically measured to be manageable at the practice range without compromising terminal effectiveness on target. Federal's ammunition is American made, street-proven, and trusted to answer the call of numerous law enforcement agencies.
