9MM FEDERAL PERSONAL DEFENSE 147 GRAIN HST JHP (200 ROUNDS)

It is rare that an assailant will ever be entirely unshielded. Even if no common urban barriers such as plywood or glass are present, an attacker will typically be protected by at least one layer of clothing. This 9mm cartridge by Federal will let you defend yourself regardless, as its 147 grain HST projectile is specially designed to maintain its ability to expand even after having passed through such obstacles.

This round’s bullet possesses a cannelure that locks its core and jacket together, which along with its specially engineered nose cavity enables it to expand reliably within a soft target. The bullet’s jacket is notched, and during penetration peels away to produce six sharp petals that devastate any organic material in their path. Because it expands so reliably, the HST bullet drastically lessens the chance of overpenetration putting bystanders at risk.

This cartridge’s casing is made of brass and plated with shiny nickel. That not only makes it more readily visible during a low light chamber check, but further promotes certain cycling and protects it from corrosion. Federal’s own sensitive primer also contributes greatly to this cartridge’s superior reliability.
