Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition 10mm Auto 200 Grain HST Jacketed Hollow Point 20RD

Federal Premium Personal Defense 10mm Auto ammunition in 200 grain HST JHP delivers the barrier-blind stopping performance that's made it the go-to self-defense round for law enforcement agencies worldwide. Built for the shooter who demands reliability in a serious defensive cartridge, this load combines controlled expansion with deep, consistent penetration—two non-negotiable qualities when your life is on the line.

The HST hollow point is engineered to expand reliably even after passing through intermediate barriers like drywall, auto glass, or heavy clothing. The bullet's jacket and core bond together during expansion, retaining nearly all of its original weight. That weight retention is critical: it means you get the penetration depth needed for effective stopping without the risk of over-penetration that could endanger bystanders. Every Federal HST round is tested against the FBI's standardized test protocol—the same rigorous benchmark law enforcement uses to qualify duty ammunition.

You're getting Federal's quality control on every component: a nickel-plated case that feeds and ejects smoothly in semi-automatic 10mm platforms, a specially formulated primer, and ammunition loaded to exacting standards. The 200 grain weight in 10mm strikes a balance between velocity and recoil management, making it a solid choice for both performance and shootability in full-size and compact 10mm handguns. This is 20 rounds of ammunition built for defensive situations where performance can't fail.
