Federal Ammunition Fed Personal Defense 44Rem Hst Jhp 20/10

Federal's Personal Defense 44 Remington Magnum HST ammunition delivers the stopping power and reliability trusted by law enforcement worldwide. Built for serious self-defense scenarios, this 230-grain jacketed hollow point load balances the raw energy of a magnum cartridge with the controlled expansion characteristics developed through rigorous FBI testing protocols. If you carry a .44 Rem Magnum for protection, HST ammunition gives you a duty-grade platform engineered for real-world performance.

The HST hollow point design is engineered to expand reliably even after passing through heavy barriers—clothing, glass, barriers, and vehicle materials—without plugging or failing to open. The bullet's jacket and core stay bonded together through the toughest intermediate materials, maintaining nearly 100 percent weight retention. That engineered weight retention means deeper, more consistent penetration appropriate for defensive use without the risk of excessive overpenetration into unintended targets.

Compared to 10mm Auto or .357 Magnum loads, the .44 Rem Magnum HST delivers significantly more energy in a larger-diameter package. You're getting the magnum's punch with better control than a full-power hunting round. The nickel-plated case and high-performance primer ensure reliable feeding, ignition, and function across a wide range of firearms, while the streamlined nose profile feeds smoothly in revolvers and lever actions alike.

Each box contains 20 rounds (two boxes of 10) ready for the range, training, or carry. Federal's Personal Defense line has proven itself in real deployments and testing, making HST a logical choice for shooters who demand ammunition that performs when it counts.
