Federal's HST ammunition delivers consistent expansion and superior terminal performance with nearly 100% weight retention. The specially designed hollow point won't plug through barriers, making it the trusted choice for law enforcement and personal defense.
Effective self-defense demands ammunition engineered for real-world performance. Federal's HST rounds represent decades of ballistic research and law enforcement feedback, resulting in ammunition trusted by officers worldwide.
The HST's hollow point cavity is specifically engineered to resist plugging when passing through intermediate barriers—clothing, drywall, or vehicle glass. This means the bullet maintains its expansion capability when it reaches your intended target.
The bullet jacket and core bond together during expansion, providing nearly 100 percent weight retention. This controlled performance delivers optimum penetration without the risk of overpenetration that can endanger bystanders.
Federal's HST ammunition meets and exceeds FBI test protocols used to evaluate duty ammunition. The nickel-plated case ensures reliable feeding and extraction, while the high-performance primer guarantees consistent ignition in critical moments.
When your safety depends on your ammunition, Federal Premium HST delivers the terminal performance you can trust.
