The Federal P10HST1S Premium Personal Defense ammunition delivers proven stopping power through advanced HST (Hollow Point Tactical) technology specifically engineered for 10mm Auto platforms. This 200-grain jacketed hollow point cartridge provides consistent expansion and deep penetration across various barrier materials, making it a trusted choice among law enforcement and civilian defenders.
What Makes This Different
Federal's HST bullet design features a mechanical jacket-to-core bond that prevents separation during expansion, ensuring weight retention exceeds 95% in ballistic gelatin testing. The optimized hollow point cavity expands reliably at velocities ranging from 850 to 1,200 feet per second, while the nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and provide smooth feeding in semi-automatic pistols. Unlike standard hollow points that may plug with clothing fibers, the HST's engineered cavity maintains expansion consistency through heavy clothing barriers.
Key Features
- 200-grain HST jacketed hollow point bullet with controlled expansion design
- Nickel-plated brass cases prevent corrosion and enhance extraction reliability
- Mechanical jacket-to-core bond maintains bullet integrity during expansion
- Optimized for 10mm Auto chamberings in full-size and compact pistols
- Low-flash propellant reduces muzzle signature in low-light conditions
- Consistent velocities between 1,030-1,130 fps from 4-6 inch barrels
- FBI protocol tested for barrier penetration and terminal performance
This ammunition performs consistently across temperature extremes and maintains accuracy standards suitable for defensive applications. The HST bullet expands to approximately 0.65 inches in diameter while penetrating 12-18 inches in calibrated ballistic gelatin, meeting FBI penetration standards. Federal's quality control processes ensure lot-to-lot consistency, with velocity variations typically under 30 fps standard deviation.
