Hornady 357 Magnum 135gr FlexLock Critical Duty – 25 Rounds

Hornady Critical Duty 357 Magnum delivers barrier-blind terminal performance engineered for law enforcement and defensive scenarios where obstacles are expected. The 135-grain FlexLock bullet features an elastomer core insert that eliminates clogging and ensures consistent expansion through heavy clothing, wallboard, plywood, and automotive glass. The InterLock band mechanically locks the jacket to the core, preventing separation during barrier penetration while maintaining 0.50+ caliber expansion in calibrated gelatin. This is a full-power magnum load designed for duty revolvers with 4-inch or longer barrels.

Critical Duty 357 Magnum uses nickel-plated brass cases that resist corrosion and provide reliable extraction in adverse conditions. The low-flash propellant reduces muzzle signature in low-light engagements. Available in 25-round boxes or 250-round cases, this load meets FBI protocol standards for barrier penetration and meets SAAMI pressure specifications for safe use in all 357 Magnum revolvers and lever-action rifles.
