Federal punch

[Harleycolt]

I just picked up 5 boxes of the 200 grain he's. First I've seen or heard of them. Anyone else have experience with this load?

No personal experience with Federal, ammo in 10mm or anything else.  There are a good number of tests with the Federal Punch ammo starting to show up on Youtube, which you can catch.  Haven't seen anything in 10mm yet.

The Federal Punch is supposed to be a HST offshoot. Very similar but less expensive to make and not built to quite same standards as HST with respect to all of LE testing protocols (windshield, steal, wood or drywall, ballistic gel, etc).  Again, only conveying what I've read with no endorsement or detraction.  Supposed to be a simpler, cheaper alternative to LE ammo good for most personal self-defense applications.  In my case, haven't seen any real price difference vs the HST when I've come across it so thus far, just stuck with HST...

Let us know what you think.
