Federal Premium Personal Defense .357 Magnum HST

Effective self-defense demands ammunition engineered for consistent performance when it matters most. Federal's HST load represents the gold standard—it's the duty ammunition chosen by law enforcement agencies worldwide for a reason.

Performance Features

Reliable Expansion Through Barriers The HST's specially designed hollow point won't clog or plug when passing through common obstacles like clothing, drywall, or vehicle glass. This means the bullet performs as intended regardless of what stands between you and your target.

Superior Weight Retention The bullet jacket and core remain bonded together through even the toughest materials, providing nearly 100 percent weight retention. This engineering ensures maximum energy transfer and consistent terminal performance.

Optimized Penetration The expanded diameter and weight retention work together to deliver the penetration depth law enforcement demands for personal defense—enough to reach vital areas without the liability of over-penetration.
