Federal Premium's new Solid Core line of handgun loads provides hunters with a tough, flat-nose lead bullet that holds together while blowing through bone, providing high weight retention and deep penetration. This all-new handgun round is made for stopping attacking animals in their tracks, enabling hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to stay safe in the field.

The new line of Solid Core ammunition is available in 9mm Luger, .357 Mag., .40 S&W, 10mm Auto, .45 Auto and .44 Rem. Mag.
