Features

The Critical Duty load is designed to meet the needs of law enforcement and military personnel, delivering "barrier blind" performance when shot through common urban barriers. The FlexLock bullet combines a Flex Tip that initiates consistent expansion while preventing clogging, and the InterLock band that locks the jacket and core together to ensure maximum weight retention and proven terminal performance through all FBI test barriers.

Barrier Blind Performance

The Hornady Critical Duty ammunition is designed to penetrate through common urban barriers, including car doors, windshields, and drywall. The FlexLock bullet's no-clog, patented Flex Tip design and heavy-duty jacket-to-core InterLock band work together to ensure that the bullet maintains its integrity, even when passing through these barriers. This results in consistent terminal performance and maximum weight retention.

Core and Jacket

The core of the bullet is made from high-antimony lead, which provides extreme toughness and controlled expansion for unparalleled terminal performance consistency. The nickel-plated crimped cases resist corrosion and enhance low-light chamber checks, ensuring reliable feeding and ejection.
