Item # 132102 Style HRN-80270 UPC 090255802702 Condition New Manufacturer [Hornady](https://www.kygunco.com/brand/hornady) Units Per Box 20 Caliber 223 Rem Weight 1.5 lb Critical Defense was developed to provide the best performance for personal protection situations and is the ultimate choice for short-barreled, concealed-carry style firearms. The patented FTX bullet with its Flex Tip expands reliably and resists the clogging and inconsistency that often plague other hollow points when fired through heavy clothing. The nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and simplify chamber checks in low light. Optimized propellants burn quickly to reduce recoil and limit muzzle flash, preserving night vision. Critical Defense performs especially well in close-quarters and short-range situations. - Caliber: 223 Rem - Bullet Type: Flex Tip eXpanding - Bullet Weight: 55 gr - Muzzle Energy: 1282 ft lbs - Muzzle Velocity: 3240 fps - Rounds Per Box: 20 - Boxes Per Case: 10 - Application: Home Defense - Casing Material: Nickel-Plated Brass ** WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
