Hornady Critical Defense 223 Rem 55gr FTX - Box or Case

The Hornady Critical Defense in 223 Rem is purpose-built for short-range defensive situations, putting Hornady's patented Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) technology into a fast, accurate rifle round. Each 55 gr FTX bullet pairs a soft lead core with a polymer Flex Tip that resists clogging through heavy clothing and initiates consistent expansion at the lower velocities typical of defensive rifles.

Loaded to a muzzle velocity of 3240 fps, this round delivers 1282 ft lbs of muzzle energy for confident terminal performance. Optimized propellants burn quickly to reduce recoil and limit muzzle flash, while the nickel-plated brass cases help resist corrosion and make chamber checks easier in low light. Whether you run a patrol carbine, a bedside defensive rifle, or a truck gun, Hornady Critical Defense 223 Rem 55 gr FTX delivers the function, accuracy, and terminal performance you need from a defensive rifle load.
