40 S&W FEDERAL HYDRA-SHOK DEEP 165 GRAIN JHP (20 ROUNDS)

40 S&W FEDERAL HYDRA-SHOK DEEP 165 GRAIN JHP (20 ROUNDS)

This 40 S&W cartridge by Federal takes the same features that let the Hydra-Shok dominate the self-defense market for three decades, and improves upon them so you can enjoy even greater peace of mind.

This round’s 165 grain JHP projectile has still got the signature Hydra-Shok center post in its nose cavity. That projection is more robust now, which in conjunction with the bullet’s redesigned jacket controls extremely consistent expansion. True to its name, this bullet penetrates deeply -- 15” in bare ballistic gel, the depth deemed optimal by the respected FBI test protocol. With so little variation in its devastating terminal effect, you can count on a lethal shot with every trigger pull.

So potent a bullet deserves only the finest supporting components. This round’s nickel plated brass shell casing is reloadable, prevents jams in a semi-automatic weapon, resists corrosion, and facilitates a chamber check in poor light conditions. Federal’s reliable primer and specially formulated propellant are standardized to deliver a consistent chamber pressure and muzzle velocity, so you’ll be able to accurately direct your defensive fire.
