Overview
Hornady Critical Defense .357 Mag 125gr FTX ammunition is engineered for consistent and reliable performance, making it a trusted choice for sporting enthusiasts and hunters. This premium ammunition addresses the common issue of inconsistent expansion in traditional hollow point bullets through its patented Flex Tip technology.
The innovative FTX bullet design ensures reliable expansion, even when encountering various target mediums. Each round is loaded into bright, nickel-plated cases for enhanced visibility in diverse lighting conditions, complemented by low-flash propellants that maintain the shooter's vision, particularly in low-light environments. This combination delivers proven performance, even from shorter-barrelled handguns, ensuring dependable terminal performance for a range of sporting applications.
- FTX Bullet Technology: The patented Flex Tip eXpanding bullet is designed to expand reliably and resist clogging, ensuring consistent performance across various conditions. The soft polymer insert compresses into the hollow cavity upon impact, initiating rapid and controlled expansion.
- Optimised Design: Developed for excellent performance, this ammunition features bright nickel-plated cartridge cases for easy chamber checks in reduced light. Low-flash propellants are specifically formulated to preserve the shooter's night vision.
- Dependable Performance: Nickel-plated cases offer corrosion resistance and ensure smooth feeding and extraction. Optimised propellants burn quickly to reduce recoil and limit muzzle flash, contributing to overall reliability.
- Optimised for Shorter Barrels: Critical Defense ammunition is engineered to deliver superior ballistic performance and consistent velocities, even when fired from shorter-barrelled revolvers and carbines.
- Cannelured Bullet: A secure crimp on the bullet's cannelure prevents bullet setback during recoil in revolver cylinders or when cycling through lever-action rifles.
