308 WIN HORNADY CRITICAL DEFENSE 155 GRAIN FTX (20 ROUNDS)

We think it’s hard to be better prepared for a home intrusion than by keeping an AR-15 ready to go. If you share our sentiment, then you’ll likely also agree that this 308 Win round from Hornady’s Critical Defense line of ammunition is perfect for protecting the hearth. It’s loaded with its creator’s 155 grain FTX projectile, which has a pliant polymer Flex Tip that compresses into its core to initiate expansion beginning at the instant of impact. To complement its fast expansion the FTX is equipped with an InterLock ring that mechanically binds its lead core and the heavy shank of its jacket together, ensuring deep penetration as well. “Neutralized” is one way of expressing what will happen to a target that takes an FTX.

This round’s propellant is optimized to burn extremely quickly, lessening the amount of light it produces so that your aim can stay true in the dark. Its nickel plated brass casing improves its dependability as well, as its improved lubricity promotes smooth feeding and ejection in a semi-automatic and effectively staves off corrosion.
