The ammo comes packed in 50 round trays, inside Federal’s distinctive gold and blue box. Ballistics are not mentioned on the box, and I don’t have a chrono, so I regretfully cannot give first-hand numbers for velocity or energy. My apologies. However, I have found data from other sources which place the muzzle velocity of this load at 1150 feet per second (fps) from a 5-inch barrel, which translates to 532 foot-pounds (ft-lbs) of muzzle energy.

Cartridge cases are nickel plated, for maximum resistance to corrosion and to enhance extraction. The cases are head- stamped +P.

Also, this is +P ammo, so be certain your weapon is rated for the increased chamber pressures. The Hydra-Shok bullet is known to be a good stopper, with positive expansion properties, and, more importantly, to be a highly feed reliable bullet profile.

Without access to ballistic gelatin, I can’t comment on the expansion, but I have found the Hydra-Shok to be very feed reliable, even in my old mil-spec 1911.
