1000rds – 40 S&W Federal Premium Law Enforcement 165gr. HST JHP Ammo
1000rds – 40 S&W Federal Premium Law Enforcement 165gr. HST JHP Ammo Details
This .40 S&W duty ammunition from Federal is an ideal choice for concealed carry or home defense with your favorite handgun or pistol-caliber carbine. The HST line of ammunition is constructed from the ground up with premium components which include reloadable brass casings and clean-igniting boxer primers which are all treated to a nickel coating; this is done to prevent corrosion in storage and decrease friction for smooth feeding alongside dependable ejection. Each case contains a precisely measured propellant charge that produces low muzzle flash enabling shooters to quickly reacquire their sight picture in low-light situations.
Crowning each cartridge is a jacketed hollow-point (JHP) projectile which weighs in at 165 grains for high velocity, relatively light recoil, and little drop out to applicable distances. The HST JHP design utilizes a deep cavity and pronounced jacket skiving in order to reliably achieve wide, petaled expansion during entry into the threat. A core-locking cannelure prevents the copper jacket from separating or fragmenting so that the entire bullet penetrates deeply enough into a target to reach vital zones and cause a positive drop.
Federal Premium has over 90 years of experience in manufacturing top tier ammunition to exacting specifications. Their Law Enforcement line is highly praised by industry professionals for its street-proven performance which is maintained by a stringent quality inspection process.
