The best .44 S&W Magnum ammo for defense is specifically designed *for* defense. Accept no compromise. Order Federal Premium Personal Defense HST today!
This isn’t the most powerful .44 Magnum ammo on the planet, but that works to your advantage during a self-defense situation. The 230 grain bullet’s 1,085 fps muzzle velocity out of a 4-V test barrel indicates that it strikes with more than double the minimum recommended energy for neutralizing a human assailant at any point within around 52 yards. But because it’s not as powerful as a hunting load, this round does pose reduced (albeit by no means zero) risk of potentially disastrous over-penetration. We estimate the bullet’s trajectory to be shaped like so: 0yds: -0.2” → 25yds: 0.9” → 50yds: 0.0” → 75yds: -3.0” → 100yds: -8.3”.
The HST jacketed hollow point excels at defense. Impact with a barrier does not jam its nose cavity with debris. High-velocity impact also does not cause the JHP to shed a significant portion of its weight. And thanks to its fast expansion, the JHP inflicts massive trauma to its target while simultaneously mitigating its risk of passing clean through the threat.
This ammo is loaded in Minnesota with Federal’s best-in-class primers and powder, as well as sleek nickel-plated brass cases which ease feeding and extraction in revolvers and lever-action rifles alike.
