45 ACP – 230 gr HST JHP – Federal LE (P45HST2) – 1000 Rounds

Federal HST is one of the most respected 45 ACP duty hollow points, and the P45HST2 is its standard pressure 230 grain version. This listing is Federal Premium Personal Defense HST 45 ACP 230 grain jacketed hollow point ammo, MPN P45HST2, sold as a 1,000 round case.

Federal rates this load at 890 fps with 404 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The heavy 230 grain HST bullet is designed to open to a wide, uniform diameter after passing through heavy clothing and other common barriers, while retaining nearly all of its weight. Because it is standard pressure rather than +P, recoil is a little softer and it is suitable for any 45 ACP pistol in good condition, including older or lightweight guns that are not rated for +P. Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and extract smoothly.

This ammunition fits firearms chambered in 45 ACP, including full-size and compact 1911 pistols, the Glock 21, 30, 36, and 41, Smith and Wesson M&P45 and M&P45 Shield, SIG P220, HK45 and USP45, Springfield XD-S and XD-M 45, and Ruger American Pistol in 45. A common question is the difference between P45HST2 and P45HST1. Both use a 230 grain HST bullet; P45HST2 is standard pressure at 890 fps, and P45HST1 is +P at 950 fps. Another common question is why buy a full case of defensive ammo. A case supports reliability testing, qualification with your carry load, and rotating carry ammunition every 6 to 12 months.

Federal P45HST2 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA in Anoka, Minnesota. It is non-corrosive and uses boxer-primed, nickel-plated brass. This case comes in factory packaging as 20 boxes of 50 rounds for a total of 1,000 rounds of 45 ACP 230 grain HST from a single production lot, so your practice and carry ammunition always match.
