Hornady 223 Rem 73gr FTX Critical Defense Rifle Ammunition

Designed specifically for short-range defensive situations, Hornady Critical Defense Rifle ammunition features patented FTX bullet technology. The specialized Flex Tip design prevents the nose cavity from clogging when passing through heavy clothing while facilitating rapid, controlled expansion even at lower velocities.

Engineered for optimal self-defense performance, the 73-grain FTX projectile delivers dependable terminal ballistics with limited over-penetration. Propellants are blended with specialized additives to significantly reduce muzzle flash and preserve night vision during low-light engagements.

Each cartridge is assembled with premium silver nickel-plated cases that resist corrosion, enhance feeding reliability, and improve visibility during chamber checks. Fast-burning powders reduce felt recoil, ensuring rapid follow-up shots when dependability matters most.
