Federal Adds Premium Hydra-Shok Deep Loads
In 40 S&W, 45 Auto
"What's your carry load?"
“Federal Hydra-Shoks”
It’s been one of my answers to the carry load question for a long time. I’ve carried .38 Special +P Hydra-Shoks in a J-frame revolver, 9mm Hydra-Shoks in all kinds of slim nines but also in a Glock 19, .45’s in a S&W M&P Shield Compact .45, and .40’s in a Springfield Armory XDM. And more!
As a testament to the efficacy of this round, Federal Premium just released its next iteration: Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep. Here’s the official release…
Federal unveils ...
… two new Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep loads that better meet modern handgun performance measurements. Shipments have been delivered to dealers.
In 2018, Federal reinvented the proven Hydra-Shok bullet design with Hydra-Shok Deep in 9mm Luger. Now, it has expanded the line with new loads in 40 S&W and 45 Auto. The bullets feature a more robust center post and a core design that penetrates to critical depths through common self-defense barriers, without over-penetrating.
