50 Rounds of .380 ACP Ammo by Federal HST – 99gr JHP

This 380 ACP cartridge by Federal features a 99 grain HST jacketed hollow point projectile. It’s relatively heavy for its caliber, as a factory loaded bullet in 380 ACP usually peaks at 95 grains — that gives it greater momentum to ensure deep penetration. The HST bullet retains that weight with the aid of the cannelure that mechanically binds its core and jacket together. Even after it has penetrated an obstinate barrier, the HST bullet resists plugging with debris to make sure that it can expand widely to create a debilitating wound channel within its target. It’s largely due to this reason that the HST performs so consistently on the FBI’s ballistic gel test protocol.

This is a dependable self-defense load. Its bullet’s nose profile promotes smooth feeding in any size semi-automatic, as does its brass casing’s sleek and corrosion resistant nickel plating. This round’s primer and propellant are both optimized to properly cycle a semi-automatic handgun as well.
