Hornady Critical Defense 223 Remington 55gr FTX – 20 Rounds

Hornady Critical Defense 223 Remington delivers controlled expansion and deep penetration optimized for home defense and personal protection scenarios. The 55-grain FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet features a polymer insert that prevents hollow point clogging through intermediate barriers like drywall and clothing while initiating reliable expansion on target. This load balances stopping power with reduced risk of over-penetration in close-quarters environments.

Designed for use in AR-15 pattern rifles and bolt-action 223 chamberings. Cases are nickel-plated brass for corrosion resistance and reliable feeding. Factory-fresh boxer-primed ammunition suitable for all standard 223 Remington chambers.
