For the 9mm, I was curious about the HST working in a sometimes inhospitable environment: the Browning Hi Power. 45 GAP (230).Īll my testing was conducted with standard, non +P loads. The Law Enforcement Tactical HST lineup includes 9mm and 9mm +P (124, 147). 45 ACP (230), and an all-new 380 Auto load geared specifically toward micro handgun platforms. Personal Defense HST is available in 9mm (124-grain). 380 pistols popular with some concealed carriers. The loads are purposefully engineered for use with the micro-size. This year Federal Premium introduced a new caliber to the HST personal defense line: the. Otherwise they're the same bullets, same powders, same nickeled cases. The only difference between the two is the packaging and a larger selection of loads on the law enforcement side. The HST bullet is available in two product lines, one for law enforcement (ammo so marked is distributed through law-enforcement channels) called Law Enforcement Tactical HST and one for the general public labeled Personal Defense HST. By 2012 the company had production volume up enough and had fine-tuned the design enough that it could begin offering it to the public.
I have not had any jackets come off the cores in testing, nor do I expect to because Federal Premium has done the FBI test dance many times in thoroughly wringing out the HST.įederal Premium started work on the HST in 2000 and had gotten the various details worked out enough to start offering it to interested law enforcement agencies in 2005. Instead Federal Premium uses a mechanical locking of the jacket to the core.

However, I don’t recommend using them in an AR because they would be the ones most likely to slam fire. I had my best groups at 100 yards using CCI BR primers in my AR-15 in 5.56.
And the military and magnum primers need a harder strike to ignite. From what I understand CCI benchrest primers are usually easier to ignite than their regular, magnum and military style primers. My preference in primers for standard loads is CCI, and generally speaking in a good load I can get standard deviations in velocity in the high single digits or low teens, where the same load may have and SD of 25-30 with a Winchester primer. They use the same primer for standard and magnum loads, which in essence means they are all magnum primers, and they act that way on a chronograph, with larger standard deviation in velocity than I get with a standard primer from CCI. Winchester primers come in WSP, WLP, WSR, and WLR flavors – small pistol, large pistol, small rifle and large rifle.
Superior performance in FBI test protocol used by law enforcement officials to assess and select duty ammunitionīullet nose profile, nickel-plated case, and Federal’s unique primer provide the ultimate in function and reliability in semi-automatic handguns. Specially designed hollow point expands reliably through a variety of barriersĮxpanded diameter and weight retention produce the desired penetration for personal defense situations without over penetrating
Its specially designed hollow point won’t plug while passing through a variety of barriers, and the bullet jacket and core hold together to provide nearly 100 percent weight retention through even the toughest materials. That’s why it’s already the duty load of choice for law enforcement officers throughout the world. Effective self-defense requires ammunition that provides consistent expansion, optimum penetration and superior terminal performance.
