Customers should only use this ammunition in firearms rated by the manufacturer for .45 ACP +P ammunition.
Federal’s HST bullet is designed for reliable expansion, penetration, and weight retention. The nickel-plated brass case supports smooth feeding, corrosion resistance, and dependable extraction.
