OK Here's the Skinny
This is from inside ATK, which is the parent company of both Federal and Speer/CCI.
Today, I asked someone who works for ATK the folowing questions;
Q) I have been hearing rumors that one of your companies, Federal Cartridge Company, is discontinuing the manufacture of Hydra-Shok ammunition. Is this true?
A) We have no plans to discontinue the Hydra Shok but we must continue to develop.
Q) I have also heard that the replacement will be called HS2. Is this a new form of Hydra-Shok?
A) New Bullet will be called HST - no Post.
Q) So, the current Hyrda-Shok will still be available?
A) Yes it will.
Q) Do you have any more info on the new rounds? Release date? Photos?
A) I have nothing yet and I suspect we wont until after the Shot Show.
So there you have it. Hydra-Shok isn't going away any time soon. But there is something in the works besides the EFMJ.
