The Federal P44HS1 Premium Personal Defense delivers proven stopping power through its advanced Hydra-Shok bullet design in the powerful 44 Remington Magnum cartridge. This ammunition combines Federal's decades of law enforcement experience with precision manufacturing to create rounds that expand reliably while maintaining deep penetration.
What Makes This Different
The Hydra-Shok bullet features a unique center-post design that initiates expansion while the notched jacket creates consistent petal formation. Unlike standard hollow points that can clog with clothing or debris, the center-post ensures reliable expansion across various barrier materials. Federal's Premium line uses carefully selected powders and primers for consistent velocities shot after shot.
Key Features
- 240-grain Hydra-Shok jacketed hollow point bullet for controlled expansion
- Center-post design prevents hollow point cavity clogging
- Nickel-plated brass cases resist corrosion and aid extraction
- Federal Premium components ensure consistent performance
- Optimized for 4-6 inch barrel revolvers and carbines
- Low-flash powder reduces muzzle signature
- 20 rounds per box, 25 boxes per case (500 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates this load achieves approximately 1,180 fps from a 4-inch barrel with excellent accuracy potential. The 44 Magnum cartridge provides substantial energy transfer for hunting medium game or personal protection scenarios. The nickel-plated cases feed smoothly in revolvers and extract cleanly even after extended shooting sessions.
