Hornady 90060 Critical Defense 32 H&R Mag 80gr FTX - 25 Rounds

The Hornady 90060 Critical Defense ammunition delivers reliable terminal performance in 32 H&R Magnum, engineered specifically for personal protection scenarios. This cartridge features the patented FTX bullet technology that ensures consistent expansion through clothing and intermediate barriers.

What Makes This Different

The FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet design eliminates the clogging issues common with traditional hollow point ammunition. The polymer tip initiates expansion upon impact while the InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together. This technology provides 90% weight retention and creates larger wound channels compared to standard jacketed hollow points.

Key Features

• 80-grain FTX bullet with polymer tip for reliable expansion
• InterLock ring prevents core-jacket separation
• Low flash propellant reduces muzzle signature in low light
• Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and enhance feeding
• Optimized for 2-4 inch barrel lengths common in revolvers
• Consistent 1,200 fps muzzle velocity from 4-inch barrel
• 25 rounds per box for extended training sessions

Field testing demonstrates consistent expansion from 12-18 inches in ballistic gelatin, meeting FBI penetration standards. The ammunition functions reliably in various weather conditions and maintains accuracy standards suitable for defensive distances up to 25 yards. Law enforcement agencies have adopted this load for backup revolvers due to its proven stopping power and reduced over-penetration risk.
