Hornady Critical Defense Rifle Ammunition .223 Rem 73 gr FTX 20/ct

Due to overwhelming demand and supply chain issues Hornady has suspended Nickel plating on their Critical Defense series during this time. This does not affect the performance of the ammunition just the look of the casing. Hornady will be reviewing returning to Nickel Plating at the end of 2021 Designed for short-range defensive situations, a new breed of FTXA(R) bullets are at the forefront of the Critical DefenseA(R) Rifle ammunition line. The bullet’s patented Flex TipA(R) 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.
