Federal HST - What weight?
I'll be changing out my 135gr .40 S & W Hydrashoks for the HSTs.
What weight do you use and why? There seems to be 155gr, 165gr and 180gr.

The 165gr seems to have the highest ft lbs of energy. Is that why?

Use the heaviest weight offered in your caliber

I actually just ordered the 165 gr since it was only second in ft lbs of energy to the 357 Sig.
I even ordered an extra box for a friend since shipping was only $1 more. Thanks all. Quote:
