Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition

Federal Premium offers several lines of personal defense ammunition designed for reliable function and effective terminal performance, most notably the HST, Hydra-Shok Deep, and Punch series. These lines are available in a variety of handgun and even some rimfire calibers.

Key Product Lines
  • HST: This is a duty load popular with law enforcement agencies worldwide. Its specially designed hollow point is built to resist plugging (filling with material like clothing) when passing through various barriers, ensuring reliable expansion and nearly 100% weight retention. HST loads consistently perform well in FBI test protocols.
  • Hydra-Shok Deep: An evolution of the original Hydra-Shok design (introduced in 1989), this line features a more robust center post and core design to achieve optimal penetration depths (typically 12-18 inches in ballistic gel, a key FBI benchmark) through common self-defense barriers.
  • Punch: Designed specifically for general concealed carry and self-defense situations (rather than strict adherence to all FBI barrier tests), the Punch line focuses on reliable expansion after passing through heavy clothing, the most common barrier encountered in self-defense scenarios. It’s available even in rimfire calibers like .22 LR and .22 WMR, making personal defense a viable option for those using smaller firearms.
  • Syntech Defense: This line uses a polymer-coated bullet that separates into three segments and a deep-penetrating core on impact, creating multiple wound channels. The polymer jacket also reduces friction and lead fouling in the barrel. 

50 Rounds of 7 62x38mm Nagant Common Features

  • Nickel-Plated Cases: Most premium personal defense loads feature nickel-plated brass cases, which inhibit corrosion and aid in sleek, reliable feeding and extraction in semi-automatic handguns.
  • High-Performance Primers: Stringent manufacturing processes ensure reliable ignition in self-defense situations. Some loads use the lead-free Catalyst primer technology.
  • Low-Flash Propellants: The ammunition is often loaded with powders that produce minimal muzzle flash to preserve the user’s night vision in low-light encounters. 
You can purchase these products directly from the Federal Ammunition website or from various authorized dealers and sporting goods stores.
