45 ACP FEDERAL HYDRA-SHOK DEEP 210 GRAIN JHP (20 ROUNDS)

45 ACP FEDERAL HYDRA-SHOK DEEP 210 GRAIN JHP (20 ROUNDS)

Federal’s Hydra-Shok bullet hit the market in 1989. That it has endured for more than three decades is alone a testament to its efficacy for self-defense.

This 45 ACP round’s 210 grain projectile features the Hydra-Shok’s distinctive center post, a projection extending from the base of its nose cavity that promotes highly uniform expansion. The bullet’s post and lead core are made even more robust than usual to promote consistent 15 inch penetration in bare ballistic gel -- a depth considered ideal according to the FBI test protocol. This bullet’s jacket is divided into six symmetrical portions, which even further guarantees reliable and wide expansion.

This round is optimized for self-defense with its nickel plated casing. In addition to being reloadable, it delivers smoother feeding and extraction in a semi-automatic firearm, resists the kind of corrosion that could impact performance, and has a glossy sheen that facilitates a chamber check when it’s dark out. Federal’s own sensitive primer and specially formulated propellant ensure ignition when your life is in jeopardy.
