Federal HST is carried by a large number of police agencies, and the 230 grain 45 ACP version gives 1911 and polymer 45 owners that same duty-grade performance. This listing is Federal Premium HST 45 ACP 230 grain jacketed hollow point ammo, MPN P45HST2, sold as 250 rounds.
The HST bullet uses a pre-skived jacket and a wide hollow point cavity designed to expand reliably through common barriers like heavy clothing, while holding together for consistent penetration. The 230 grain weight matches standard 45 ACP ball, so recoil and point of impact closely track the FMJ most owners practice with. This is a self defense and duty load. With 250 rounds, you can confirm reliability in your pistol and magazines and still have plenty for carry and periodic replacement.
This ammunition fits pistols chambered in 45 ACP, also called 45 Auto, including 1911 pistols from Colt, Springfield, Kimber, Smith and Wesson, and Wilson Combat, the Glock 21, 30, and 41, the SIG P220, the HK45 and USP45, the Smith and Wesson M&P45, and the Springfield XD-M. A common question is whether HST feeds reliably in a 1911. Most modern 1911s with properly shaped feed ramps run HST well, but older or tightly fitted guns should be tested with at least a box or two. Another common question is whether 45 ACP HST works from a compact pistol such as a Glock 30. HST is designed to expand across a range of barrel lengths, but confirm function and accuracy in your own pistol before carrying it.
Federal P45HST2 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by Federal in Anoka, Minnesota. The cases are brass and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 250 rounds of 45 ACP 230 grain HST. Keeping one lot for testing and carry means the rounds in your magazine are the same ones you proved at the range. Rotate carry rounds periodically and use the older ones for practice.

Great deal on phenomenal carry ammo. Had no cycling issues while test running a box through my FN FNX45TAC. Zero was the same as my 230gr FMJ range ammo which will make training very easy.
