Description
Federal Hydra-Shok is a name that everyone recognizes and a classic design for self-defense which has influenced the features of all defensive ammo that came after it. These 9mm Luger cartridges utilize nickel-plated brass casings which resist corrosion from debris and long hours of carry while enhancing feeding and ejection due to low friction. Each casing is fitted with a non-corrosive Boxer primer and possesses a light cannelure which sits at the base of the projectile and prevents setback from repeated clearing and re-chambering. This particular load uses a standard pressure powder charge with flash suppressant in its mixture which leaves shooter’s adjusted vision unhindered for accurate follow-up shots in low-light conditions.

The projectile used in this load is a 124 grain jacketed hollow-point (JHP) with light skiving, a deep cavity, and a plunger attached to the center of the lead core. Upon impact, the bullet is designed to peel back into a mushroom-like shape while the center plunger formation maintains momentum; this results in deep penetration and optimal energy deposited into the vital organs of a threat. 124 grains is a common weight for 9mm NATO rounds and offers a balance between smooth recoil, commendable energy, and low vertical shift at varying distances.
