223 Remington 55 gr FTX® Critical Defense®

Product Features

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.
