Federal Premium Personal Defense Ammunition is an excellent choice for law enforcement agencies as well as concealed carry permit holders. The unique center-post design of the Hydra-Shok Hollow Point delivers controlled expansion while the notched jacket provides efficient energy transfer for maximum penetration.

These personal defense loads feature increased muzzle velocity and energy compared to standard loads, the penetration and stopping power of Premium bullets and reduced recoil. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.

Federal Premium Hydra-Shok has proven itself for self-defense since 1989. Hydra-Shok Deep builds off the time-tested platform with design improvements that better meet modern performance measurements. The bullet features a more robust center post and a core design that provides as much as 50 percent deeper penetration than original Hydra-Shok and competitor loads. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable nickel plated brass cases.

Features

• Penetrates 15 inches in bare ballistics gel—the optimal depth according to FBI standards
• 50 percent deeper penetration than original Hydra-Shok
• 70 percent improvement in FBI protocol score
• Iconic center post design has been improved for better, more consistent expansion through standard barriers.
• Consistent, specially formulated propellant
• Extremely reliable Federal primer

Federal Syntech changed the shooting range forever. Now the technology is revolutionizing protection as well. Syntech Defense provides dynamic terminal performance with a hollow-point bullet that separates into three segments and a deep-penetrating core on impact. The core penetrates 12 to 18 inches through bare ballistics gel and heavy clothing — a critical benchmark in self-defense situations and the best terminal performance of any round in its class. The petals create three secondary wound channels, each more than 6 inches deep, adding to the terminal effect. Like all Syntech loads, an advanced polymer jacket eliminates lead and copper fouling and drastically reduces damaging heat and friction in the barrel. Its Federal exclusive Catalyst primer provides hot, extremely reliable ignition without the use of lead. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer-primed, reloadable brass cases.

Features

• Hollow-point bullet separates into three segments and a deep-penetrating core on impact
• Core achieves 12 to 18 inches of penetration in both bare ballistics gel and through heavy clothing
• Segments create three secondary wound channels more than 6 inches deep
• Blue polymer jacket reduces barrel heat and friction and eliminates metal fouling
• Extremely reliable Catalyst lead-free primer

Federal Syntech PCC ammunition is built to meet the exhaustive demands of fast-pace Pistol Caliber Carbine competitions, with flawless function in carbine platforms. Velocity and accuracy are optimized for long gun barrel lengths, with a bullet profile that provides excellent accuracy and reliable feeding in a variety of carbine platforms. Like all Syntech loads, Syntech PCC features the one-of-a-kind TSJ projectile, which uses a polymer jacket to eliminate metal fouling and drastically reduce damaging barrel heat and friction. The bullet style also minimizes splash-back on steel targets. Its exclusive Catalyst primer provides hot, reliable ignition without the use of lead or other heavy metals.

Features

• 9mm Luger load specifically designed for use in carbines
• Velocities optimized for longer barrels
• Bullet profile designed for reliable feeding in carbine platforms
• Catalyst high-performance lead-free primer
• Total Synthetic Jacket prevents metal fouling
• Drastically reduces barrel heat and friction
• Minimizes splash-back on hard targets

Federal Syntech Solid Core Ammunition is designed to take down anything from hogs to bears. This line of handgun loads hits game harder with a tough, flat-nose lead bullet that holds together while blowing through bone, providing high weight retention and deep penetration. Syntech polymer jacket technology reduces the friction and leading that plague hard cast bullets. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.

Features

• Deep-penetrating bullet built for tough game like bears and hogs
• Extremely hard lead core
• Syntech jacket eliminates lead fouling and reduces friction without costly features like wax rings and gas checks
• Powerful protection against aggressive bears and other dangerous animals
• Available in the most popular handgun hunting calibers

If practice isn’t realistic, it’s not really practice. Make range time matter with Federal Syntech Training Match, loads that offer the same velocity, trajectory and point of impact as equivalent Federal Premium Personal Defense HST and Tactical HST duty ammunition. Like all Syntech offerings, Syntech Training Match features the one-of-a-kind TSJ projectile, which uses a polymer jacket to eliminate metal fouling and drastically reduce damaging barrel heat and friction. Its Federal-exclusive Catalyst primer provides hot, reliable ignition without lead or other heavy metals, making Syntech Training Match perfect for indoor ranges. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.

Features

• Identical point of impact, velocity and trajectory as equivalent HST loads
• Extremely realistic and effective practice
• Purple jacket visually identifies matched training round
• Catalyst high-performance lead-free primer
• Total Synthetic Jacket prevents metal fouling
• Drastically reduces barrel heat and friction
• Minimizes splash-back on hard targets
