Hornady Critical Defense 357 Magnum

Features

1. Patented FTX Flex Tip Bullet — The polymer-tipped 125-grain FTX projectile drives into the hollow point on impact to deliver consistent, controlled expansion through heavy clothing and barriers.
2. 125-Grain Bullet Weight — A proven mid-weight .357 Magnum load that balances penetration, expansion, and manageable recoil for defensive use.
3. 1,500 FPS Muzzle Velocity — Generates 624 ft-lbs of muzzle energy for serious terminal performance out of full-size and snub-nose revolvers.
4. Nickel-Plated Brass Cases — Corrosion-resistant nickel plating reflects light for fast chamber checks in low-light conditions and ensures smooth feeding and extraction.
5. Low-Flash Propellants — Optimized powder blend reduces muzzle flash to preserve night vision and burns cleanly to maintain consistent velocities even in short barrels.
6. Reduced Recoil Powder Blend — Purpose-built propellant package keeps recoil manageable for faster, more accurate follow-up shots from compact carry revolvers.
7. Resists Clogging — The Flex Tip design prevents the hollow point cavity from packing with denim, leather, or other clothing materials that can defeat conventional JHPs.
8. 25 Rounds Per Box — Packaged in a 25-round box of factory-fresh defensive ammunition, ready for carry rotation and practice.
9. Made in the USA — Manufactured by Hornady in Grand Island, Nebraska to the company's exacting quality control standards.
