An American classic is reborn – featuring 21st-century ballistic technology and the patented Hornady exclusive advantage provided by the patented Flex Tip® design of the 30 Cal. 110 gr FTX® bullet. This design routinely delivers 15" of penetration in ballistic gelatin tests. At 2000 fps, this Critical Defense offering dramatically redefines the performance of the storied M1 Carbine.
FTX® BULLET TECHNOLOGY
The unique design of the Critical Defense® FTX® bullet offers quick expansion and limited penetration from self-defense rifles.
DEFENSE-CENTERED DESIGN
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.
DEPENDABLE
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.
