Federal Premium HST 40 S&W 180 Grain JHP Ammo 20RD

The Federal Premium HST 40 S&W 180 Grain JHP is premium personal defense ammunition engineered around consistent expansion, penetration, and projectile integrity. Loaded with Federal's 180 grain HST Jacketed Hollow Point, this ammunition is designed for serious defensive and duty applications.

Federal developed the HST projectile to provide dependable performance through a variety of intermediate barriers while helping the bullet jacket and core remain together. Each factory box contains 20 rounds of .40 S&W ammunition.

180 Grain HST Jacketed Hollow Point

At the center of this load is Federal's 180 grain HST Jacketed Hollow Point. The projectile uses a specially engineered hollow-point cavity designed to resist becoming plugged as it passes through common barriers, helping maintain consistent expansion characteristics.

Federal also designs the HST jacket and core to remain together during expansion, promoting strong weight retention and consistent terminal performance.

Designed for Consistent Expansion

Hollow-point performance can be affected when clothing or other intermediate material enters the projectile cavity. Federal specifically engineered the HST hollow-point design to reduce this problem and provide more consistent expansion across varying conditions.

According to Federal, HST ammunition is designed to balance expansion, penetration, and weight retention for defensive applications.

Personal Defense and Duty Ammunition

Federal Premium HST is designed as personal defense and duty ammunition rather than a general-purpose range load. The HST line has also been widely adopted for professional law-enforcement use, reflecting its focus on defensive handgun performance.

This particular load combines the HST projectile design with a traditional 180 grain .40 S&W bullet weight, making it a strong option for shooters looking for premium defensive ammunition for a compatible .40 S&W handgun.
