Federal Syntech Defense .45 ACP 205gr SJHP
Federal's Syntech Defense ammunition represents a significant advancement in self-defense ammunition technology. This round combines proven terminal performance with the clean-shooting benefits that have made Syntech a favorite among range shooters.
Terminal Performance
The Syntech Defense hollow-point bullet is engineered to separate into three distinct segments upon impact, with a deep-penetrating core that continues through the target. This design delivers:
- Core penetration: 12 to 18 inches through bare ballistics gel and heavy clothing—a critical benchmark for reliable self-defense performance
- Secondary wound channels: Three petals create additional wound channels, each exceeding 6 inches in depth
- Consistent expansion: The segmented design ensures reliable performance across various barriers
Clean-Shooting Technology
Like all Syntech ammunition, Federal's advanced polymer jacket eliminates lead and copper fouling that can accumulate in your barrel. This reduces damaging heat and friction, extending barrel life and simplifying maintenance.
Reliable Ignition
The Federal Catalyst primer provides hot, extremely reliable ignition without relying on lead compounds. This lead-free design makes Syntech Defense suitable for indoor ranges and reduces environmental impact.
