See More Information

Federal's Tactical Bonded ammunition built for law enforcement use is designed to deliver deep penetration with strong expansion!

The bullets loaded into this line of ammunition bond the lead core to the copper jacket. The bonding process is designed to ensure that regardless of the barrier that this bullet penetrates, the lead core and copper jacket will not separate from each other. During impact, when a lead core separates from its jacket, the result is that there is no longer enough mass to achieve sufficient penetration to reach vitals. This Tactical Bonded line of ammunition is a great fit for law enforcement with its deep penetration.

This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable, nickel-plated brass cases.

This is top of the line, American-made range ammo - it doesn't get any better than this for personal protection. This product is designed for Law Enforcement and occasionally made available to the general public through police trade-ins.

Ballistic Gel Test

Ballistics Test Summary

We wanted to know exactly what happens to a self-defense handgun bullet on impact, so following FBI protocols, we fired five rounds of Federal 165 gr Tactical Bonded from 10 feet, through four layers of cloth (to simulate clothing), into synthetic ballistic gelatin. The photos below show the bullets recovered from the gelatin after being fired from a Glock 27 pistol. There’s also a high speed video that shows the bullet impacting the gelatin block.

All the data we gathered pertaining to expansion and penetration of this load can be found in the chart below, and the diagrams at the bottom of the page show how it compares to other 9mm Luger (9x19) self-defense loads from our tests.

In addition to the Federal 165 gr Tactical Bonded, we tested over 100 other self-defense loads, so check out Lucky Gunner Labs for the full story.
