For those who rely on a .44 Magnum for personal protection, Federal has just added a .44 Magnum HST load to its catalog.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Federal Ammunition has just added a .44 Magnum load to its Personal Defense HST line. Described as a \u201clight magnum\u201d load, it features a cartridge-specific 230-grain hollow-point bullet that was designed to provide excellent expansion and weight retention without overpenetration or excessive recoil. The ammo has an advertised muzzle velocity of 1,085 fps, nickel-plated cases and high-performance sealed primers.<\/p>\n

Chris Laack, Product Manager for Federal Handgun Ammunition, said this about the new self-defense revolver load:<\/p>\n

\n

This new HST loading addresses customer requests for a Personal Defense\u00ae option in 44 Mag, offering more power than a 44 Special load but better control and less overpenetration than a full-magnum hunting load \u2026 Its cartridge-specific bullet design best utilizes the magnum power available for defense and has more energy than 10mm Auto and 357 Mag yet with a larger 44 Mag projectile. It is incredible \u2026 When matched with the HST bullet design, the 44 Magnum provides the energy to achieve both effective penetration depth and significant hollow-point expansion \u2026 This HST does exactly what a great hollow-point bullet should. It provides significant expansion and retained weight while achieving optimized penetration depths in tissue with reduced risk for over-penetration.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Federal .44 Magnum HST is shipping to retailers now and has an MSRP of $55.99 per 20-round box.<\/p>\n
