ANOKA, Minn. -(Ammoland.com)- Federal Premium Ammunition’s Personal Defense HST Micro loads fuel peak performance from subcompact, concealed-carry handguns.

For 2017, the HST Micro line has been expanded to include a 130-grain 38 Special +P load with a deeply seated bullet that eliminates excess air space in the case. This results in the most consistent velocities and terminal performance. Shipments of the new loads are now arriving at dealers.

Like all HST Micro rounds, the new load provides reliable expansion, optimum penetration and superior terminal performance with a bullet weight and propellant optimized for the most efficiency and accuracy in subcompact handguns.

“By combining the HST bullet design with the unique seating depth, we’ve created the most consistent 38 Special personal defense load on the market,” says Federal Premium Handgun Product Lane Director Jason Nash. “We’re proud to give those who carry a 38 Special the most effective possible option for the platform.”

Features & Benefits:

New 38 Special +P load for micro-size concealed carry revolvers
Deep bullet seating eliminates inconsistent powder burn rates
Law enforcement proven HST bullet design
Expanded diameter and weight retention produce the desired penetration for personal defense situations, without over-penetrating
Clean-burning, low-flash propellants

Part No. / Description / MSRP:

P38HST1S / 38 Special +P HST Micro, 130 grain

I see nothing here that interests me. I'll stay with my handloads.

Seems like someone there took heart to the old school way of loading a hollow based wadcutter upside down into a .38 case for a Chief's Special... laugh

This load looks better though.

Very interesting concept. I'm looking forward to some independent gel testing.
