20rds – 40 S&W Federal Syntech Defense 175gr. SHP Ammo

Federal Ammunition 175 Grain Segmented Hollow Point (SHP) Ammo Details

There’s more to this 40 S&W cartridge’s pretty blue bullet than meets the eye. It is a segmented hollow point, and it breaks apart into four separate pieces as it hurtles through its target. The core goes straight in, achieving a depth of up to 18 inches; the three other segments each create their own devastating wound channels up to six inches in depth. The result? One dissatisfied bad guy!

Federal also gave this bullet their Syntech jacket. It is made of polymer rather than copper, and therefore eliminates metal-on-metal contact within the bore. It causes only very little fouling, and lessens friction to the extent that actually extends a barrel’s lifespan. This advanced bullet is complemented by Federal’s own Catalyst primer, which is intensely reliable and burns extra hot to ignite a great deal of propellant simultaneously. Federal’s brass is top notch, so it cycles efficiently and is worth handloading several times.
