Hornady Critical Defense 223 Rem 73 gr Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) 20/Box

Critical Defense ammunition is the ultimate choice for personal protection, catering specifically to short-barreled, concealed-carry firearms. Its standout feature is the patented FTX bullet with a Flex Tip, ensuring reliable expansion and resistance to clogging, even when passing through heavy clothing. The nickel-plated cases offer corrosion resistance and simplified chamber checks in low-light conditions. Additionally, optimized propellants burn swiftly to reduce recoil and muzzle flash, preserving night vision. Critical Defense excels in close quarters and short-range defensive situations. Furthermore, in the Critical Defense Rifle ammunition line, this innovation continues with FTX bullets designed for short-range defense, preventing nose cavity clogging and promoting expansion at low velocities.
