Product Description

Hornady Critical Defense Rifle ammunition in .223 Remington is built for short-range defensive use where reliable terminal performance matters most. Each cartridge is loaded with Hornady’s 55 grain FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet featuring a patented Flex Tip design that helps prevent the nose cavity from clogging through common barriers like heavy clothing, while promoting dependable expansion at lower velocities. Nickel-plated cases enhance corrosion resistance and visibility during low-light chamber checks, and the load is engineered to deliver consistent performance with minimal flash signature.

Product Highlights

  • 55 grain FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) polymer-tipped bullet designed for rapid, controlled expansion
  • Patented Flex Tip helps resist clogging through heavy clothing and similar barriers
  • Optimized for short-range defensive scenarios and short-barreled rifles
  • Nickel-plated cases for smoother feeding, improved corrosion resistance, and easier low-light visibility
