They now have bonded and non-bonded.


Either way, the Homeland Defender ammo (if it is HST) is a good round, regardless of the cheesy marketing.

HST is not Bonded. There are a whole bunch of different bullets in the Federal Tactical line. In hand gun it has the following.

Hydra-Shock
EFMJ
Bonded jhp
HST

How does the price compare to the Federal box? If cheaper, it would be the way to go - if it is identical to the HST.

I was gonna say isn't Hydra Shok the same thing? Thats what we use at work through our P7's

No, HST and Hydra Shok are two different rounds. Almost identical ballistics, but different. The Hyda Shoks are more expensive.

And the HST performs better.
