500rds – 45 ACP Federal Hydra-Shok 230gr. JHP Ammo

500rds – 45 ACP Federal Hydra-Shok 230gr. JHP Ammo Details

Hydra-Shoks are one of Federal's most well known products when in comes to defensive handgun ammo. These top tier .45 ACP cartridges are made using nickel-plated brass casings which resist corrosion, provide low-friction feeding, and easily identify the ammo for "carry" use. Each casing is equipped with a clean-igniting Boxer primer and filled with a low-flash powder which reduces night blindness for more accurate follow-up shots in a dark environment. This round profile is topped off by a 230 grain jacketed hollow-point (JHP) projectile with a pre-skived coating and a tall lead plunger seated at the base of the cavity.


230 grains is common to the caliber and is often the weight in which .45 Auto aficionados place their trust. The Hydra-Shok JHP design promotes wide expansion during entry into a threat which deposits optimal energy into vital organs and reduces the risk of over-penetration. Federal's plunger design is intended to prevent heavy clothing from clogging the cavity upon initial contact so that expansion meets no hindrance. Federal's legendary reputation for quality has been proven throughout the decades by expert hunters and match competitors. Buying these rounds in bulk ensures that a shooter will have plenty of practice ammo to prove their carry gun as well as a leftover stash for refreshing rotation.
