Can't seem to get my hands on a box of it. I've read good things as well.

 

[Doctordrew]

Four seasons has them ( it says so on their site) and I saw some 45ACP at coin collectors today. thats what I am going to carry,
I eventually want to do some tests with the Federal HST, SPEER gold dots, and Winchester rangers as my reasearch has pointed to those 3.

Does anyone know anything about the Federal Expanding Full Metal Jacket ammo? Is it just a gimmick? It is this FMJ which supposedly has serrations or something so that the bullet penetrates and then the jacket expands.

It isn't a gimmick, but it has no real advantage over quality JHP. It's an option for those that can't have JHP.

 

[firtree]

230 Grain HST

 

[MarkM]

currently Corbon 230gr JHP, just bought 200rds of Federal 230gr HST to try out on my next range trip.

 

[Fsorrent]

It's good stuff. I know load it in all my handguns.

 

[Doctordrew]

report back on the HST, Im interested to see how you like it.

 

[Fsorrent]

HST stuff is great. Check out the fsguns.com website and under the ammunition tab click on the link for HST report. Pretty impressive performance. I bought the stuff myself, and ran it down the range. Not one hitch, accurate, and not too much flash either.

 

[Cross-X]

Hornady T.A.P. or Speer Gold Dot, or my old standby, Federal HydraShok.

I'm looking forward to trying it out, the reviews and performance data were great and the price was a lot less than I had been paying for the corbon: 48c/rd versus $1.05/rd

 

[K-DUB]

Federal HydraShok & Speer Gold Dot in various calibers.

 

[FJM25]

11 rounds of 180 gr. Federal HydraShok .40 S&W in my FN Hi-Power

 

[JonJ]

Winchester Ranger .40 180 GR SXT JHP.

 

[FITH]

Hornady T.A.P. or Speer Gold Dot, or my old standby, Federal HydraShok.

I am guess you have shot the hornady TAP... are they worth the difference in $$$$... You are the first person I have found using them...was always curious!!
Q who carrys them..or did you order them?

I have been very happy with it too. It feeds great in my commander,
is accurate, expands to a HUGE size in a .45 (just from dirt samples,
flawed, I know), and is actually priced at a point where I can spend
some practice time with my carry ammo.

 

[Executive]

180g Rangers in the 229
230g Hydra-Shocks in the 1911PD or M&P45

If neither of these work, harsh language will have to suffice.
