Federal's Premium Law Enforcement HST line of JHP duty ammunition offers massive expansion! This duty load has a pre-skived bullet tip which causes the bullet to expand into large petals that cause a large permanent wound cavity. The unique design of this bullet actually forces the lead petals during expansion to protect the copper petals behind them. This results in increased weight retention allowing it to still achieve deep penetration through a variety of barriers prescribed by the FBI test protocols.

This product is brand new, nickel plated brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable.

This is top of the line, American-made defense ammo made by ATK (same company that makes Speer Lawman, CCI, Blazer Brass, etc). This product is designed for Law Enforcement and occasionally made available to the general public through police trade-ins.

- it doesn't get any better.

Ballistic Gel Test

Ballistics Test Summary

In order to find out how different self-defense handgun loads perform, we decided to do some ballistics gelatin testing of our own. The chart below is a compilation of expansion and penetration data for Federal 147 gr HST fired from 10 feet, through four layers of fabric (to simulate clothing), using a Smith & Wesson M&P9C pistol.

The photo slider provides a close-up view of the bullets we recovered from the gelatin, and the video shows this load entering the gel in extreme slow motion.

The diagrams at the bottom of the page can give you an idea of how this load compares to other 9mm Luger (9x19) self-defense loads that we tested.

We did a lot more of this ballistic gelatin testing, including over 100 different loads in a variety of calibers, so check out Lucky Gunner Labs for all the details.

Q: Are these 50rd boxes of ammo new from the factory/distributor, or were they pre-owned by a law enforcement entity, and then re-sold? I recently purchased some of these 50rd "law enforcement" boxes from another retailer, but the ammo looked like it had been loaded into mags, carried/handled, and then repackaged and resold. As a result, I wasn't too keen to depend on it, as I couldn't be sure of its age or what conditions it was kept in. I had also heard that Federal/Vista was no longer allowing the sale of their 50rd law enforcement ammo to private citizens, which only exacerbated my fears that my 50rd boxes of ammo were previously owned by a department somewhere. I look forward to your reply, thanks.

A: I would share your concerns Jason. I wouldn't want to depend on ammunition that has already seen use. All of our ammo is in new condition. We never "buy back" ammo to resell. You can buy with confidence.

Q: Federal HST available to private citizens or just LEOs?

Posted On: 11/3/2012 By: Don

A: This Federal HST Law Enforcement ammunition is designed for and sold to many LE agencies. When this item is in stock, this is available to be purchased by any of our customers.
