Hornady Critical Defense 223 Remington 55 Grain Flex Tip eXpanding

Designed for short-range defensive situations, a new breed of FTX bullets are at the forefront of the Critical Defense Rifle ammunition line. The bullet's patented Flex Tip not only helps keep the nose cavity free from clogging as it passes through heavy clothing but also helps the bullet expand at low velocities. The unique design of the Critical Defense FTX bullet offers quick expansion and limited penetration from self-defense rifles. Silver nickel-plated cases feed smoothly and are more visible for chamber checks in low-light situations. Additives blended with propellants reduce flash to maintain night vision. Details such as nickel-plated cases that resist corrosion and optimized propellants that burn quickly to reduce recoil and limit muzzle flash, help ensure that Critical Defense ammo is dependable in every situation.Specifications:Manufacturer: HornadyModel Number: 80270Ammo Bullet Type: Flex Tip ExpandingAmmo Casing Type: Nickel Plated BrassAmmo Bullet Weight: 55 grainAmmo Round Count: 20/BoxCaliber Multi: .223 RemingtonMuzzle Energy: 1282 lb/ftMuzzle Velocity: 3240 fpsApplication: Personal DefenseSeries/Collection: Critical DefenseBallistic Coefficient: 0.175 (G1)Sectional Density: 0.157
