# FEDERAL AMMO 40 Sw 175Gr Syntech Defense SJHP 50rd

Federal Syntech Defense .40 S&W 175gr SJHP ammunition is built for self-defense use with a segmented hollow-point design. On impact, the bullet separates into three petals while a solid core continues to penetrate deeply. The Syntech polymer jacket helps reduce barrel heat, friction, and metal fouling, and the Catalyst primer is lead-free.

Federal’s all-new Syntech® Defense delivers advanced terminal performance through an innovative segmented hollow-point design. Upon impact, the bullet separates into three individual segments while a solid core continues to penetrate deeply. The core achieves 12 to 18 inches of penetration in bare ballistic gel—meeting a critical self-defense standard and setting a new benchmark for performance in its category.

The three separating petals create additional wound channels, each extending more than six inches, enhancing overall terminal effectiveness. Built on Federal’s proven Syntech platform, the advanced polymer jacket eliminates lead and copper fouling while significantly reducing heat and friction in the barrel. An exclusive Catalyst® primer ensures hot, exceptionally reliable ignition without the use of lead.

- Core achieves 12 to 18 inches of penetration in both bare ballistics gel
