Description
The Federal Premium Personal Defense HST in 45 ACP +P is a flagship self-defense loading from Federal’s Personal Defense line, engineered to deliver consistent expansion and penetration from full-size 1911-platform and modern .45 ACP handguns. This load drives a heavy 230 grain HST Jacketed Hollow Point at 950 fps from the muzzle, producing 461 ft lbs of energy.
The HST hollow point is Federal’s premier personal-defense projectile, designed to expand reliably at the moderate velocities typical of the .45 ACP. The bullet is paired with a brass casing and loaded to +P pressure, giving defensive shooters a hotter, higher-velocity option versus standard-pressure 45 ACP loads without stepping up to a major caliber.
Federal rates the 45 ACP +P HST for home defense and personal protection applications. The catalog number for this loading is P45HST1S, with each factory box containing a 20-round count packaged in ten-box, 200-round cases.
Your purchase options:
- Box – 20 Rounds
- Case – 200 Rounds (10 Boxes)
