Nope, the FBI quit using the 147 gr. Federal Hydra-Shok because the contract ran out and the new contract was won by a different load.

Actually, they didn't just "quit". The loading continued to be authorized until supplies were exhausted.

I am unaware of any pressure issues the FBI experienced with 147 gr. Federal Hydra-Shok.

I hope this prevents an Internet rumor.







147 what??

9mm or .40 caliber??


Most kabooms I have ever heard of occurred in a .40 caliber gun.

Please feel free to correct me if this is not the case.


Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

Rehabilitation is way overrated.
