Federal hst micro 38 special review

This ammunition was engineered to meet or exceed  ammunition testing protocols; these protocols put bullets through 10% ordinance gelatin, steel, wallboard, plywood, laminated automobile safety glass and gelatin covered in heavy clothing and measure how well the bullets penetrate, expand and hold together.

One of the great things about this ammunition are high quality features that make this ammunition perfect choice for self-defense ammunition. Each round of ammunition is loaded into a Federal Premium nickel plated brass case with waterproofing on the case mouth and primer.

Every load has a consistent powder charge and reliable primer for consistent ignition. Every HST bullet features a tapered jacket profile for reliable feeding, a cannelure that locks the copper jacket to the lead core, patented co-aligned internal and external skiving and a deep tapered hollow point that will not clog.

Features of federal hst micro

• Clean-burning, low-flash propellants

• Expanded diameter and weight retention produce the desired penetration for personal defense situations without over-penetrating
• Bullet nose profile, nickel-plated case and Federal’s unique primer provide the ultimate in function and reliability
• Optimized for less felt recoil, more reliable cycling and better control with subcompact pistols.

• Personal Defense Micro: This ammunition is specifically designed for use in micro-compact pistols, which are small, lightweight handguns that are often used for concealed carry.
• HST Jacketed Hollow Point: The HST (Hydra-Shok) Jacketed Hollow Point bullet is a proven self-defense bullet that expands reliably upon impact, creating a larger wound channel and maximizing stopping power.
• +P: The “+P” designation indicates that this ammunition is loaded to a higher pressure than standard 38 Special ammunition, resulting in increased velocity and energy.
