Federal HST .44 Rem Mag 230gr Personal Defense

Federal HST .44 Rem Mag Personal Defense Ammunition

Effective self-defense demands ammunition engineered for consistent performance under real-world conditions. Federal's HST line delivers exactly that—proven duty ammunition trusted by law enforcement agencies worldwide.

Design and Performance

The HST hollow point features a specially designed profile that expands reliably even after passing through intermediate barriers. The bullet's jacket and core remain bonded together, providing nearly 100 percent weight retention through tough materials. This engineering ensures the projectile performs predictably whether it encounters clothing, drywall, or vehicle glass.

Ballistic Characteristics

• Caliber: .44 Rem Magnum
• Projectile Weight: 230 grains
• Velocity: 1085 fps
• Expansion: Reliable through barriers
• Weight Retention: Nearly 100 percent

The 230-grain .44 Rem Mag load delivers more energy than 10mm Auto or .357 Magnum while offering a larger-diameter projectile. You get the power of a magnum cartridge with better control and less risk of overpenetration compared to full-power hunting loads.

Reliability Features

Federal's attention to detail extends to every component. The nickel-plated case resists corrosion, the bullet nose profile ensures reliable feeding, and the high-performance primer guarantees consistent ignition. This ammunition meets FBI test protocols used by law enforcement to evaluate duty ammunition.

HST ammunition represents the pinnacle of personal defense engineering—trusted by professionals, built for serious use.
