Federal Ammunition introduces new handgun ammunition for 2025, enhancing its product lines with notable options. The 44 Rem Mag. HST load offers superior energy, while Hydra-Shok Deep expands to 45 Colt and 32 H&R. American Eagle expands to 32 H&R, and Power-Shok adds 10mm Auto for improved performance.
Federal Ammunition states “Federal Ammunition proudly announces new handgun ammunition options for 2025. Several new options will be added to the Federal Premium HST, Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep, Federal American Eagle, and Federal Power-Shok Handgun product lines.
HST’s new 44 Rem Mag. load has been optimized for personal defense. It provides more energy than 10mm Auto and 357 Magnum with a larger diameter, 230-grain projectile. However, it has better control and less overpenetration than a full-magnum 44 Rem. Mag. hunting load.
Hydra-Shok Deep will now be offered in 45 Colt and 32 H&R. The modern defense projectiles in these new loads are optimized to offer the best terminal performance for these specific cartridges, with controlled expansion that perfectly balances expansion size and penetration depth.
American Eagle will now be offered in 32 H&R. Hit your target and train harder with this proven line. It provides performance similar to self-defense and competition loads for a familiar feel and realistic practice.
Power-Shok Handgun will now be offered in 10mm Auto. This short-barrel performance goes the distance. Handgun hunters get the power and accuracy they need with a jacketed hollow-point bullet suited to a variety of medium and big game.”
