HornadyA(R) Critical DefenseA(R) Ammo is dependable in life-threatening situations. FTXA(R) bullets offer quick expansion and limited penetration from self-defense rifles and are at their best in short-range defensive situations. The bullet's Flex TipA(R) not only helps keep the nose cavity free from clogging. And nickel-plated cases that resist corrosion combined with propellants that burn quickly to reduce recoil and limit muzzle flash also enhance dependability. PLEASE NOTE: Hornady has temporarily suspended nickel plating due to supply shortages. These rounds will feature a traditional brass case instead. Order today!
