357 MAGNUM FEDERAL HST 154 GRAIN JHP (20 ROUNDS)

About This Federal 357 Magnum Ammunition

The 357 Magnum is a ferocious cartridge – a belcher of fire and force, which can easily neutralize even the strongest of foes regardless of which bullet it’s loaded with. But why take any chances if you rely on the 357 Mag for defense? Why not invest in the very best purpose-built defensive ammunition available?

This is Federal Premium’s Personal Defense HST ammunition, which features all the same high-quality components as the ammo they supply to law enforcement agencies. First and foremost, that includes the HST jacketed hollow point. It isn’t bonded, yet it still consistently exhibits complete (or very close to it) weight retention after having tunneled through a barrier. Its nose cavity is engineered to resist becoming blocked up with debris, thus preserving its ability to trigger massive expansion within soft tissue. Factor in the 357’s formidable power, which assures 600+ ft lbs striking energy at close range (bearing in mind that Federal recorded this round’s 1,340 fps muzzle velocity using a 4” test barrel), and you’re assured the stopping power which gets the job done.

Federal’s trusty primer, clean-burning powder and potent HST bullet all rest within a premium brass case, which is plated in nickel to increase corrosion resistance and decrease friction that might have slowed feeding and extraction from the cylinder. Federal HST also excels at hunting applications, and will play very nicely with any lever gun it’s chambered in.
