Federal Syntech Defense .45 ACP 205gr SJHP Handgun Ammunition
KFF Defense offers Federal Syntech Defense .45 ACP 205gr Segmented Jacketed Hollow Point ammunition, engineered for demanding personal defense applications. This load provides consistent ballistic performance, serving as a reliable option for individuals carrying a concealed carry pistol or other defensive handguns. The design prioritizes effective terminal performance without compromising firearm longevity or maintenance requirements.
Projectile Design and Terminal Performance
The core of the Syntech Defense projectile is designed for deep, consistent penetration, achieving 12 to 18 inches in bare ballistic gel. Upon impact, the hollow-point bullet segments into three distinct petals, each creating additional secondary wound channels exceeding six inches deep. This controlled expansion and segmentation contribute to efficient energy transfer and incapacitation potential, optimizing the terminal effect within established defensive parameters.
Syntech Polymer Jacket Technology
Utilizing Federal’s advanced Syntech polymer jacket, this ammunition significantly mitigates lead and copper fouling within the barrel. This reduction in friction and heat contributes to extended barrel life and simplifies post-shooting maintenance. For training and practice scenarios, the polymer jacket also aids in preserving steel targets commonly found at shooting ranges. The exclusive Catalyst primer ensures reliable ignition, providing consistent performance shot after shot under varying conditions.
