    Default Federal HST good carry ammo?

    wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the ammo/reloading section. hopefully here is ok seeing as how it should be in my carry gun.

    I found this today when I was searching for some good carry ammo to replace some of the old style HP I am using now. the pictures are impressive enough to give the federal hst some serious thought in my opinion. anyone have any thoughts or experience with it?

    I have never used them, but I do know Federal makes high quality ammo.

    I just ordered some Federal HST for my .45's after reading this Wound Ballistics Workshop from July of last year. I've got to give it a try!

    It seems to be a top performer! :03:

    I read about the Federal HST round in one of my magazines last week. Very impressive. It's like a mini buzz saw going through flesh and bone. Time to make some inquires and see who has it in our area.

    Thanks for the link. $26.00 a box of 50 isn't too bad of a price.
