20rds - 9mm Federal Personal Defense 147gr. HST JHP Ammo Details

Defend yourself with some of the best cartridge technology available when you load up with these HSTs from Federal's Personal Defense line. Each of these 9mm Luger rounds fires a 147-grain projectile with a wide mouth, deep cavity, and long serrations which guarantee reliable expansion at varying distances and velocities. The heavy weight helps it penetrate deeply and deliver incredible energy when its expanded form causes it to halt in vital areas. This transfer of momentum imposes maximum damage and helps to end drop threatening targets with superb efficiency. The cartridge profile is completed with a non-corrosive Boxer primer, a reloadable brass casing, and low-flash powder which reduces blinding for the user.

The use of nickel plated brass ensures dependable feeding, unhindered extraction, and resistance from moisture either in storage or when kept on the belt. Federal Premium has been around for nearly a century and is responsible for making some of the most consistently performing ammo on the market today. HST rounds are a highly sought-after option for personal protection.
