ANOKA, Minnesota –-(Ammoland.com)- From the No. 1 Brand in Handgun Ammunition, Federal is proud to introduce new Syntech Defense. These loads produce dynamic terminal performance with a hollow-point bullet that separates into three segments and a deep-penetrating core on impact. Shipments of Syntech Defense ammunition have been delivered to dealers.
The original Syntech changed the range forever. Now, the technology is also revolutionizing protection. The bullet in Syntech Defense has a core that penetrates 12 to 18 inches through bare ballistics gel and heavy clothing — a critical benchmark in self-defense situations and the best terminal performance of any round in its class. The segments create three secondary wound channels, each more than 6 inches deep, adding to the terminal effect.
Like all Syntech loads, an advanced polymer jacket eliminates lead and copper fouling and drastically reduces damaging heat and friction in the barrel. Its Federal exclusive Catalyst primer provides hot, extremely reliable ignition without the use of lead.

I prefer Winchester talons. But I will be checking these out.
They had the nyclad years ago, heck of a round. 124 gr. Now 138 gr in 9mm? How about 115 for us guys with small pocket rockets?
Is it a lead bullet coated in polymer? Or a completely synthetic projectile?
Looks like they took the old nyclad rounds and redesigned the hollow point. I’m interested in seeing actual tests of it.
They should make them available in boxes for reloaders, ya???
Yippee a box of 20 offering!!
Cheap plastic instead of an expensive gilding metal jacket . . . and a premium price. Someone in Federal’s accounting department is angling for a bonus . . .
