In the world of range ammunition, cleanliness is becoming increasingly important, and Federal's latest 9mm offering addresses this concern head-on. The Syntech Training Match line utilizes a distinctive red polymer coating on its 124-grain bullet, replacing the traditional copper jacket. This Total Synthetic Jacket (TSJ) is more than just eye-catching – it's designed to reduce copper and lead fouling in the barrel significantly. For high-volume shooters, this could translate to easier cleaning and maintenance of their firearms. Moreover, the ammunition is loaded to produce a muzzle velocity of 1150 fps, placing it in line with many standard 9mm loads and ensuring that practice with these rounds translates well to other 9mm ammunition.
