Hornady Critical Defense 223 Rem 73gr FTX 20rd - Box or Case

The Hornady Critical Defense rifle load brings Hornady's defensive bullet technology to the .223 Remington chambering. Purpose-built for short-range defensive situations, this load uses a 73-grain FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet to deliver reliable expansion with controlled penetration from .223 Rem rifles commonly used for home defense and tactical applications. Each round leaves the muzzle at 2790 fps and produces 1262 ft lbs of energy, giving defensive rifle shooters a hard-hitting, accurate cartridge ready for use in a wide range of platforms.

The FTX bullet uses a polymer tip to initiate expansion across a wide velocity window, including the lower velocities typical of short-barrel defensive rifles. Each cartridge is loaded in a nickel-plated brass case that resists corrosion and feeds smoothly in semi-auto actions. The result is a purpose-built defensive load that combines consistent accuracy with controlled terminal performance in .223 Rem rifles.
