Description
Hornady Critical Defense 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (WMR) ammunition is engineered for reliable personal defense. This 45-grain load features the patented Hornady FTX bullet with a flexible polymer tip. The tip prevents clogging in clothing barriers and initiates rapid, controlled expansion for consistent terminal performance in compact firearms chambered for .22 WMR.
Key Features

- Flexible polymer tip resists clogging when passing through heavy clothing.
- Optimized propellant for consistent velocity in short-barreled handguns.
- Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and ensure smooth feeding.
- Designed specifically for the terminal performance demands of personal defense.

The Hornady FTX design solves a key rimfire defense limitation. The polymer tip drives into the bullet’s lead core upon impact, initiating uniform expansion at .22 WMR velocities. This controlled deformation creates a larger permanent wound channel than traditional round-nose ammunition, making it a viable option for compact defensive handguns where shot placement is paramount.
