Federal Syntech Defense 9mm 138gr SJHP Ammo - 50 Round Box

The Federal S9SJT2 Syntech Defense combines proven segmented jacketed hollow point technology with Federal's Total Synthetic Jacket coating for superior performance and reduced fouling. This 9mm Luger ammunition delivers consistent expansion and reliable feeding while minimizing barrel wear through its polymer-encapsulated bullet design.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional copper-jacketed hollow points, the Syntech Defense features a Total Synthetic Jacket (TSJ) that completely encapsulates the lead core, eliminating metal-on-metal contact with the barrel. The segmented jacket design ensures controlled expansion across a wide velocity range, while the synthetic coating reduces friction and heat buildup. This combination results in 50% less barrel fouling compared to conventional jacketed bullets and extends barrel life significantly.

Key Features

• 138-grain segmented jacketed hollow point for reliable expansion
• Total Synthetic Jacket coating reduces barrel fouling by 50%
• Polymer encapsulation eliminates lead exposure during handling
• Consistent 1,050 fps muzzle velocity from 4-inch barrel
• Federal brass cases with non-corrosive Boxer primers
• Reduced friction coating minimizes heat buildup and wear
• Compatible with all 9mm Luger chambered firearms

The segmented hollow point design provides predictable expansion while maintaining penetration depth suitable for personal defense applications. Range testing shows consistent accuracy with minimal point-of-impact shift from training ammunition. The synthetic jacket coating keeps actions cleaner during extended shooting sessions, reducing maintenance requirements and improving reliability in semi-automatic pistols.
