Hornady Critical Defense 223 Ammo 73 Gr FTX Box of 20

Designed for short-range defensive situations, a new breed of FTX bullets are at the forefront of the Critical Defense Rifle ammunition line. The bullet’s patented Flex Tip not only helps keep the nose cavity free from clogging as it passes through heavy clothing but also helps the bullet expand at low velocities.   Silver nickel-plated cases feed smoothly and are more visible for chamber checks in low-light situations. Additives blended with propellants reduce flash to maintain night vision. Details such as nickel-plated cases that resist corrosion and optimized propellants that burn quickly to reduce recoil and limit muzzle flash, help ensure that Critical Defense ammo is dependable in every situation.
