Product Description
Hornady Critical Defense .30 Carbine 110gr FTX 25-Round Box
Hornady Critical Defense .30 Carbine is the modern solution to a problem that M1 Carbine and semi-auto .30 Carbine owners have faced since the platform was civilianized: finding a defensive hollow point load that expands reliably rather than plug-clogging through heavy clothing. The patented Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) bullet eliminates hollow point plugging by filling the cavity with a soft red polymer tip that initiates expansion on contact even through denim, leather, and winter coats that defeat conventional hollow points. At 2,000 fps, the 110-grain FTX generates 977 ft-lbs from a standard M1 Carbine barrel — meaningful handgun-comparable energy in a rifle-caliber package with dramatically better manageable recoil. Nickel-plated brass cases aid feeding reliability in older surplus platforms with tight chambers, and Hornady's low-flash propellant minimizes night-vision disruption for home defense use. This is definitively the best defensive loading for .30 Carbine.
