The Federal P327HST1S Premium Personal Defense ammunition delivers exceptional stopping power in the versatile 327 Federal Magnum cartridge. This specialized defensive load combines Federal's proven HST bullet design with precise powder charges to maximize terminal performance from both revolvers and single-shot firearms.
What Makes This Different
The HST (Hi-Shok Two) bullet construction features a jacketed hollow point design engineered for consistent expansion across various barrier types. Unlike standard hollow points that can clog with heavy clothing or drywall, the HST's mechanical jacket design maintains expansion reliability. The 104-grain bullet weight provides an optimal balance between velocity and penetration depth, meeting FBI protocol standards for defensive ammunition.
