Hornady Critical Defense 38 Special Ammunition 110 Grain Flex Tip Expanding - 90310 ammo review
offers the following information; Since their creation, conventional hollow point bullets have performed well, but have never delivered 100% reliability especially in self-defense situations. The Flex Tip technology used in Critical Defense ammunition eliminates the clogging and inconsistency that often plagues hollow point bullets. Hornady achieved this by using the same tip material as used in their LeveRevolution ammunition. This Hornady Critical Defense 38 Special Ammo is loaded with a 110 grain FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet, which has a soft polymer insert that delivers optimum controlled expansion and large, deep wound cavities over a wide range of velocities. This ammunition was designed by Hornady to expand every single time. All Critical Defense ammo is loaded into nickel cases for increased visibility in low-light situations. Premium low flash propellants deliver proven performance, even in very short-barreled handguns, and will not disrupt your vision. Clean burning and efficient propellants reduce recoil in lightweight handguns and perform consistently in all temperatures. Hornady Critical Defense Ammunition was purpose built for concealed carry guns and designed to deliver reliable and controlled expansion regardless of target every time. Hornady Critical Defense 38 Special Ammo is non-corrosive, new production ammunition in boxer primer and reloadable brass cases. Hornady 38 Special ammo is packaged in boxes of 25 rounds or cases of 250 rounds. Purchase Hornady Critical Defense 38 Special Ammo bulk ammo from Target Sports USA and receive free shipping!
