Federal Premium HST .45 ACP ammunition is the trusted self-defense round for law enforcement agencies worldwide—and it's available for civilian carry and home defense use. This 230-grain jacketed hollow point load delivers the combination of reliable expansion, controlled penetration, and terminal performance that serious shooters demand when the stakes are highest. If you carry a full-size or compact .45 ACP for protection, HST rounds give you the same proven duty ammunition trusted by professionals.
The HST's design centers on a specialized hollow point that won't clog or deform when passing through intermediate barriers like clothing, drywall, or vehicle glass—keeping expansion consistent across real-world defensive scenarios. The bullet's jacket and core stay bonded together, achieving near-complete weight retention even through heavy materials. That structural integrity means the round maintains its velocity and energy transfer where it counts, without breaking apart or shedding fragments that can cause unpredictable behavior downrange.
Each box contains 20 rounds, ready to load into your magazines or practice with at the range. Whether you're a concealed carry permit holder testing duty loads, a home defense shooter looking for vetted ammunition, or a competitive shooter evaluating self-defense options, Federal Premium HST provides the kind of terminal consistency that justifies its law enforcement adoption and reputation.

Yes. The HST is the duty load for law enforcement officers worldwide and is widely used by civilian concealed carry permit holders for the same reason—proven expansion, penetration, and weight retention. It's an excellent choice for self-defense handguns.
No. The HST's specially designed hollow point is engineered not to plug when passing through clothing and other barriers, ensuring consistent expansion in defensive scenarios where shots must pass through fabric.
Each box contains 20 rounds, which is enough to load a full set of magazines or conduct initial testing and training sessions.
HST rounds feature a jacketed hollow point design where the bullet jacket and core remain bonded together, achieving nearly 100 percent weight retention even through heavy materials. This structural integrity preserves velocity and energy transfer compared to ammunition that fragments or separates on impact.
