Personal Defense HST, 44 Rem Magnum, 230 Grain, Jacketed Hollow Point
“This new HST loading addresses customer requests for a Personal Defense® option in 44 Mag, offering more power than a 44 Special load but better control and less overpenetration than a full-magnum hunting load,” said Chris Laack, Federal Handgun Ammunition Product Manager. “Its cartridge-specific bullet design best utilizes the magnum power available for defense and has more energy than 10mm Auto and 357 Mag yet with a larger 44 Mag projectile. It is incredible.”
Features and benefits also include an expanded diameter and weight retention, which produce the desired penetration for self-defense situations without over-penetration. Additionally, it exhibits superior performance in terminal ballistics testing used by law enforcement. The nickel-plated case and high-performance sealed primer provide ultimate reliability. The product is sold in 20-count boxes.
“When matched with the HST bullet design, the 44 Magnum provides the energy to achieve both effective penetration depth and significant hollow-point expansion,” continued Laack. “This HST does exactly what a great hollow-point bullet should. It provides significant expansion and retained weight while achieving optimized penetration depths in tissue with reduced risk for over-penetration.”
