Now the HELO Duty comes to law-abiding civilians in a personal defense load. Short for High Expansion, Law Enforcement, Ordinance, the HELO Defense load passes and exceeds FBI performance protocols, according to National Police Ammunition. It utilizes a solid piece construction from high-grade virgin copper. A proprietary cavity features interior skives. Meanwhile, the bullet hardness ensures maximum penetration and expansion. It retains 100-percent of its grain weight through ballistic gel.
The HELO bullet defeats barriers, its cavity resisting getting plugged by heavy clothing, drywall or plywood. The projectile also features a black oxide coating that reduces copper fouling. It also reduces drag for maximum velocity without over-pressuring the cartridge. The HELO hits all benchmarks of the FBI Protocol Test, according to National Police Ammunition. It penetrates a minimum of 12 inches into bare gel from a Glock 43. It also penetrated an average of 15 inches from a full size pistol, according to National Police Ammunition.
In accuracy testing, the 9mm HELO consistently held two-inch groups at 25 yards from a 4-inch duty pistol, according to National Police Ammunition.
