The .22 WMR cartridge offers significantly higher velocity and energy than standard .22 LR. Hornady’s FTX bullet leverages this with a mechanically locking jacket and a tapered, flexible polymer tip. Upon impact, the tip drives into the bullet core, initiating uniform expansion to create a larger wound channel while maintaining adequate penetration depth for defensive scenarios.
