I no longer write much about guns and knives, being more involved with a novel. But some firms continue to send me their press releases.

Generally, I don't post them anywhere. But Federal is offering a new combo -pack of 124 grain FMJ practice ammo with the rest of the box holding their premium 124 grain HST JHP defense load.

I don't know the price, which will in any event vary with the dealer. But this seems like an item to look for. The box holds 100 rounds of FMJ and 20 rounds of HST.

I know that it's offered in 9mm. Ask your dealer if it applies to other calibers.

Thought that you guys would want to know about this option. This HST is one of the two 9mm loads that I seek out as preferred fodder for my Beretta. My son likes it in several 9mm's. (The other preferred load is Speer's Gold Dot.)

Click on the link to see a photo. You can show it to your dealer if he claims they don't make it because he doesn't have it on hand or hasn't yet heard of it.

Have been using the Winchester Train / Defend for a couple of years now .. The Defend in 40 S&W 180 grain is my current carry round ..

The Defend JHP in 40 opens to double the size of the round and the 9mm likewise .. and that's in a sub compact pistol with a 3.5 and 3.1 inch barrels ..

I bought the Federal 120 rd Practice and Defense along with a few extra boxes of 50 124gr FMJ Practice yesterday at Academy Sports in Cedar Park TX.

Most of my 9mm practice shooting is with $9.76/50 115gr Perfecta

Federal Premium® Practice and Defense 9mm 124-Grain Centerfire Ammunition | Academy

Separately the Practice are $14.99/50 and the HST is $23.99/20

No savings buying the 120 rd pack over buying each separately but the 124gr 9mm HST is rarely in stock at Academy here.I do see the 147gr HST occassionally.

You do realize HST 9mm can be regularly had online for $22-26 per 50? Why spend $1+ a round on the same ammo?

I wouldn't normally buy it but 20 can't hurt.

I'm mainly interested in just try a small accuracy test of 115gr, 124gr and 147gr in a recently acquired 39-2.

I never buy ammo or reloading components online.

You do realize the $9.76 Perfecta is great 9mm ammo satisfies my need perfectaly.:rolleyes:
