Hornady Critical Defense 44 Spl 165gr FTX HP 90700 Overview

Hornady Critical Defense 44 Special 165 grain hollow point 90700 ammo uses a relatively light 165-grain FTX bullet in the traditional 44 Special revolver cartridge. This differs from the heavyweight lead bullets commonly associated with the caliber and from the separate high-pressure 44 Magnum chambering.

The FTX's flexible nose insert is intended to reduce clothing-related clogging of the cavity before the bullet begins to deform. Hornady publishes 900 fps for this ammunition. Because revolvers firing 44 Special vary widely in barrel length and sight regulation, the relationship between the 165-grain bullet and the user's usual practice load is best determined through direct comparison.

Owners should not mistake the cartridge for 44 Magnum, even if both rounds can appear in discussions of similar revolvers. The lighter flexible-tip bullet gives shooters a distinctive defensive configuration, but actual point of impact and firearm suitability still matter more than general statements about the two 44-caliber rounds. A 20-round package provides this 44 Special ammo for evaluation in the correct chambering.
