Buy This while you can: Federal HST 40 S&W

[richardsolak01]

Dude, 185 gr. not hollow point though, Federal ammo in 100 count "value pack" at my local Wal-Mart 27.95 and that is with tax.

[SouljaSolo]

those are $12 a box here in Texas buddy

[MrHuds88]

Yep, Wal Marts around Ft. Worth have em for 23.97! Get em while their cheap folks! 1/2 the price of PDX1's or Gold Dots and just as great of performance...

[SouljaSolo]

@MrHuds88 go to Winchester on Lancaster and save half that

[Nakanokalronin]

When did Federal start putting HST rounds in non-nickle plated cases and loading them in the boxes reserved for the cheap range ammo?

[z1evoboy]

I just got 500 rounds of the 180gr for less than 200 shipped :)

[andythemangoetz]

I'm a winchester ranger T fan myself

But ill have to go andpick some of them up to see how they work

[Johnnytcod]

Expansion or not 135grn is just too light for my liking in.40.

[dajuan1104]

i live down and die by that box right there ...and plus 40s&w is my favorite round too ....ohhhhh thats some good shit right there ..but dont tell no one eles b 4 they buy it all ..lmao

[Hashmountain]

Looks good but I'll stick with the Hornady Critical Defense or the Black Talons.

[mechanisto1832]

@Hashmountain Federal HST, Gold Dot, and Winchester ranger-T are the best hollow points around

[Hashmountain]

@mechanisto1832  To each his own, you have to go with what you like, not what others tell you to.

[mechanisto1832]

@Hashmountain Winchester Ranger T are the new black talons, they are basically the same design, just no black teflon coating. I totally agree with you, go with what makes youfeel good...

[86zboss]

@Hashmountain They don't make black talons anymore. Winchester Ranger T's and HST's are the SAME EXACT thing as the "black talons". They are just a newer generation of bullet now with different names.

[subysuby]

I don't like that bullet not enough penetration.

[mechanisto1832]

@subysuby Would you wanna stand in front of one?? not me...

[myantispambox]

@mechanisto1832 I wouldn't stand in front of a .22 either but I don't use one for self-defense.

[akiratubo]

@mechanisto1832

I wouldn't want to stand in front of a .22 subsonic. Doesn't mean I'd use it for self-defense. I prefer 165 or 180 grain loads in .40.

[sk8tafrnk]

@subysuby Penetrate my ass.

[Kaltwasser45]

@sk8tafrnk Penetrate ur own ass. lol

[sk8tafrnk]

@Kaltwasser45 Watch your fucking mouth.

[Kaltwasser45]

@sk8tafrnk Haha. 

[BUCKrub91]

@subysuby You dont want alot of penetration in a ccw ammo... unless you want the bullet to pass through into an innocent civilian

[jcjfamilyadventure]

the hollow point looks the same as the federal law enforcement ammunition except the law enforcement comes with a nickel casing. Great stuff.

[frankgon4]

Did you measure the diameter of the bullet after it expanded?

The expansion looks greater then 0.5 inches

[mechanisto1832]

@frankgon4 its well over .50 caliber closing in on .75 caliber

[frankgon4]

@mechanisto1832 I will go to Walmart this week and look for the ammo. .

[mechanisto1832]

@frankgon4 Do you live near N. Indiana??

[frankgon4]

@mechanisto1832 Afraid not. I live in Texas.

[DiscoverTruth1776]

My Walmart doesn't sell hollow points here in Detroit, MI. Just FMJ. That sucks.

[jwash3rd]

@DiscoverTruth1776 Did you check over in Windsor? Ha, just kidding.

[stokermack]

I bought 2 boxes of this ammo at walmart for $13/box. I thought it was trash and that was why it was on sale. I shot the two boxes and went back and bought the rest they had in stock. Got 12 more boxes @ 13/box.

[FlatheadSteve]

A retired cop works at my walmart and said this was their duty ammo and the red box federal was their practice ammo....So I do have some and like the way it shoots aswell.

[crazydiesellover]

That stuff really expands well huh? Man, looks like it preforms nicely. whats the muzzle energy on that stuff?

[mechanisto1832]

@crazydiesellover i have no clue...its hot though. I shot a frozen water jug and it completely destroyed the entire jug...

[crazydiesellover]

@mechanisto1832 Thats great! I bet its quite the self defence round for cheap!

[crazydiesellover]

@mechanisto1832 I will post the specs on this ammo soon, just bought some a month or so ago. Bought 2 boxes of 135 grain hst's and 2 boxes of 180 grain hst's both in 40 smith and wesson. This stuff has great powers and amazingly cool muzzle flash. #1 best ammo in my book for a hard hitting round that does not get to your wallet because these work so flawlessly. Getting hard to get it though. Some sort of ammo ban for police and millitary service only people to buy it. not sure what thats about.

[yz9890]

by the way, those looked just like HST's, and I'm sure they were, but they were in a strange (generic) federal box. weird.

[yz9890]

great price. I like the low recoil 135's for the g27 also. I paid $26 per 50 of 165gr HST's. hard to find though. even now that supply seems to be bouncing back. another claim to fame for the HST is it's weight retention. nearly 100% through all types of material. magic I guess since it doesn't even appear to be a bonded bullet.

[joesphx19]

I bought a slew of this in 9mm, .40, and .45 some time back just as the ammo shortage hit. This is top drawer defensive ammo. As I understood, this ammo was made using FBI specs to pass through, say a winshield, and yet fully expand in soft tissue. Thanks for the alert, I will p/u more of this.

[pjicleanair420]

good result and round
