Federal Ammunition 230 Grain Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Ammo Details

Federal's HST series is designed to pass the rigorous standards of law enforcement users, producing optimal expansion and penetration to stop threats to life and limb. This means that it is also an excellent choice for concealed carry use. Each .45 ACP cartridge in this case of 1,000 fires a 230 grain jacketed hollow point bullet with a specially cut "skived" tip that expands into a six-petal shape for maximum terminal effect. This ammo is made in Anoka, Minnesota and uses non-corrosive Boxer primers and nickel-plated brass cases designed to withstand long periods of daily carry without losing their integrity.
