Hornady Critical Defense .223 Rem 55gr Ammunition w/FTX Bullets (20/Box) 80270

Designed with personal protection at its forefront, the Critical Defense Rifle Ammunition delivers the quality and performance that all Hornady ammunition shares. They come equipped with Hornady’s exclusive FTX Bullets. Instead of a hollow cavity, FTX bullets feature a polymer Flex Tip which acts like a piston that compresses upon impact, resulting in rapid, consistent expansion. This design is perfect for Short Barreled Rifles, as they might not be able to produce the necessary velocity for traditional hollow points to expand. The advanced design of the FTX bullets is perfectly matched with a clean burning propellent that produces a minimal flash signature to preserve dark adapted vision – a critical factor in self defense situations. In addition, the Critical Defense Rifle rounds use premium cases and reliable primers.

Features of the Hornady Critical Defense Rifle Ammunition:

• FTX bullets: Utilize polymer tip that ensures rapid, consistent expansion upon impact
• Ideal for short barreled rifles
• Clean burning propellent with minimal flash signature
