Hornady Ammo
Hornady: Accurate, Deadly, Dependable
Hornady Manufacturing was built and thrives to this day on a vision for the future, a trait firmly on display in its ability to harness technology, create cutting-edge designs and craft products enthusiasts deserve. The approach is genetic. The business remains family owned and operated after more than 70 years, and the Hornady spirit appears to be contagious, based on the prowess of its research and development teams.
Hornady History
Joyce Hornady was an avid hunter and shooter who, although deemed too old for service during World War II, taught marksmanship to security forces stationed at Nebraska’s Grand Island Arsenal. The duties didn’t slow his hunting, although the war effort’s drain on stateside supplies made bullets scarce. So, he figured out how to redraw .22-caliber rimfire brass into bullets suitable for centerfire cartridges. Sometime after VJ Day he partnered with Vernon Speer, and the design became available to the public under the “Speer Hornady Bullets” name.
Speer moved to Idaho and built his own legend. Hornady stayed in the Heartland and knew the post-war glut of surplus cartridges was good news for recreational shooters, but also understood the bullets they carried were not ideal for hunting. Add the sudden excess of components—brass, powder, primers—that would make the economy of reloading attractive to returning G.I.s and he saw an opportunity.
In 1949 he opened the doors of Hornady Manufacturing Company in Grand Island, NE. Its motto was, and still is today, “Accurate, deadly, dependable.” A .30-caliber 150-grain spire-point was the first bullet it made—a design that remains popular.
Korean War Slowdown
Sales totaled only $10,000 the first year—not enough to put the books in the black—although the figure tripled in the next 12 months. Staff size grew to four, then the Korean Conflict arrived, and its corresponding scarcity in raw materials. Commercial bullet production slowed, and rather than risk layoffs or idle the business, Hornady entered into a contract with the government to manufacture war effort items.
The approach worked and after fighting stopped production resumed to normal. Business was good and by 1958 it the company had outgrown the mid-town building it launched from—formerly an auto body shop. That year the company opened an 8,000-square foot factory west Grand Island, in an area outside city limits. The facility even included a 200-yard, underground range for testing, another testament to the company’s foresight. The location was remote at the time, but today it’s surrounded by buildings.
Hornady Innovation and Cartridges
Hornady added sales and marketing staff in the 1960s and the pension for innovation shined when company experiments identified an improved bullet design. The secant ogive spire point was the result, and it’s still used in most pointed-bullet profiles to this day. The technical-sounding approach, in simplest terms, improves ballistic coefficient and exterior ballistics by increasing the radius of the circle reflected by the pointy/rounded end of the bullet—in effect, smoothing things, improving aerodynamics and decreasing drag. Common sense, except if that radius gets too large accuracy is lost and if you sacrifice too much of the projectile’s straight-walled section it can have problems settling into the barrel’s rifling. Thankfully the engineers and ballisticians have done all the heavy calculus.
It wasn’t long until the company was offering everything from .22- to .45-caliber bullets for reloaders. Then, in 1964, Hornady rolled out its Frontier Ammunition line of cartridges. Built from surplus brass and Hornady projectiles at strict manufacturing tolerances, it quickly gained favor for performance and affordability.
Staff grew to 40 and sales climbed at an annual rate of 30 percent. Consumer demand was so great that manufacturing space was expanded to 25,000-square feet.
When the Vietnam war began the company faced a different challenge, though. Surplus brass vanished and, to ensure production continued uninterrupted, Hornady entered into mutually beneficial agreements with other major manufacturers. A byproduct of those relationships continues to this day—seen in the number of Hornady bullets in cartridges assembled by other companies.
Joyce Hornady’s youngest son, Steve, came to work for Hornady Manufacturing in 1970. Then in 1971 Hornady Manufacturing purchased Pacific Tool Company—Steve Hornady’s former employer—which had been making reloading presses and gear since 1928. One of the company’s last designs, a progressive press, was so innovative that it continues to be popular to this day.
Despite all the success and challenged, the emphasis on technology and improvement never faltered. In 1965 its engineers developed the Innergroove, scoring inside the bullet to ensure proper “upset” (mushrooming) on impact. The InterLock, which minimizes separation by using an interior ring, came in 1977.
Overcoming Tragedy
Joyce Hornady and two members of his staff died on Jan. 15, 1981, while traveling to the firearm industry’s annual Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show.
Steve Hornady took over as president. His wife Marval, who had already been working for the company for nearly a decade, became chairman of the board. Joyce’s daughter, Margaret Hornady David and her husband left corporate positions at Polaroid to join the team.
Hornady Ammunition
What followed is a rapid and unparalleled harnessing of groundbreaking technology in the company’s cartridges and bullets. A large part of that is the engineers the company has attracted, but without management willing to risk it on a concept, none of it would be possible. If you’re one of the many 6.5 Creedmoor fans, you can thank Hornady. It introduced the cartridge in 2007. More recently it gave us the 6.5 PRC and .300 PRC cartridges. Want reliable feeding and stopping power in your self-defense handgun? Hornady has the answer.
Hornady Critical Defense
One failure in your self-defense gun with your preferred carry cartridge is not acceptable. It’s a simple stovepipe on the range, but in a criminal confrontation, the results can be fatal. Hornady’s Critical Defense and Critical Duty lineup harnesses the company’s FTX (Flex Tip) Bullet tip technology that helps avoid feeding problems, minimizes clogging through barriers like clothing, yet delivers fight-stopping terminal performance. The former is fine-tuned for home- and self-defense, the latter tailored for law enforcement officers, who require better barrier penetration as they protect and serve. The cartridges are available for most handguns and even some long guns.
Hornady Custom XTP
The ultimate in self-defense loads from the company, however, may be it's Custom XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) line of cartridges. Renowned for their accuracy, the projectile is a hollowpoint covered in a jacket of gilding metal to ensure unfailing feeding. Serrations ensure proper upset on impact and the swaged core ensures in-flight stability with proper expansion. It’s available for a variety of chamberings.
Hornady LEVERevolution
Historically, one of the big limitations to lever-action rifles is a tubular magazine that requires cartridges to line up, single file. If those loads feature a ballistically superior pointed bullet and one of them strikes the primer ahead with enough force, the results are more than just “surprising.” Hornady was the first to solve the problem and put some exterior ballistics back into the equation using the same FTX technology.
Hornady A-MAX
When precision is key and performance cannot be compromised, take a close look at this Hornady line—from bullets for that precision reloader, to complete cartridges. The A-MAX projectile starts with a secant ogive profile to improve external ballistics, adds a swaged lead core to improve shot-to-shot repeatability and puts it in the company’s AMP jacket, which has virtually zero deviation in wall thickness. Add an ultra-low drag tip to improve ballistic coefficient and its an ideal option for anyone trying to make that long-distance connection, or dozens of them.

Hornady American Gunner 9mm +P 124 Grain JHP – 250 Rounds
$199.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 124 Grain Bullet Type XTP Use Type home defense Casing Type Brass Quantity 250 Ammo Caliber 9mm Luger (9x19) Manufacturer SKU 90224 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 10090255902249 Cost Per Round 79.9¢ per round Hunting. Personal protection. Law enforcement. When terminal ballistics matter, you can trust the eXtreme Terminal Performance (XTP) projectile by Hornady!
This 9mm +P cartridge is armed with a 124 grain XTP. The jacketed hollow point bullet’s gilding metal shell totally covers the rim of its nose cavity, thus fortifying it for more reliable feeding in a semi-auto. The XTP’s swaged lead core is totally uniform in density, which enables its concentric jacket to achieve peak gyroscopic stability in flight.
The XTP’s shielded nose cavity also prevents premature deformation during impact. As it sinks into soft tissue, the bullet’s skived jacket peels back to produce up to 1.5X diameter expansion. The jacket becomes progressively thicker toward its base to promote exceptionally uniform expansion across a wide range of impact velocities.
Hornady outfits their famous XTP with a premium brass case, responsive primer and even-burning powder to provide the reliable performance which brings peace of mind. Please note that this is overpressure ammo. It generates higher than standard chamber pressure to give its bullet a greater muzzle velocity, flatter trajectory and more energy transferral on impact, but you must make certain your handgun is rated for +P before running this ammo through it! -
Hornady American Gunner 9mm 115 Grain JHP – 250 Rounds

So long as your pistol or pistol caliber carbine is chambered for 9mm, this ammo is going to turn it into an effective tool for personal protection. It’s also swell for hunting varmints and predators!
This cartridge features a 115 grain XTP jacketed hollow point. The bullet’s swaged lead core has superbly uniform weight distribution, and Hornady’s jackets are among the most concentric on the market. Those two features make the XTP so balanced that it’s commonly used for competitive shooting as well.
Around the XTP’s rim sit multiple notches, which help the jacket easily split apart into symmetrical sections even after low-velocity impact. The XTP’s jacket is drawn in such a way that leaves no exposed lead around its nose. That helps to prevent a feeding jam, and it also helps the XTP to penetrate a barrier without taking on damage that would have inhibited uniform terminal expansion.
Hornady is an all-American ammo manufacturer. They have produced fine ammo in Nebraska for over 70 years now, and they always load the high-quality brass cases and reliable explosive components smooth performance demands. -

They boast, rightly, that a Frontier round is the one to reach for whether you would spend your afternoon plinking, target shooting, and training for law enforcement. It’s also in no way inadequate (and in fact excellent for) hunting and self-defense as well. Combined with its reasonable price, this one-size-fits-all brand is great for shooters who appreciate the opportunity to familiarize themselves with one cartridge’s performance as intimately as they can.
This 5.56x45mm cartridge features a 75 grain projectile. Its boat tail design greatly increases its ballistic coefficient to raise its accuracy, flatten its trajectory, and improve its performance in windy environments. Because the bullet is also a hollow point, it will expand to create a deep and wide wound channel in soft targets.
Frontier ammunition further offers reloadable brass casings and military grade Boxer primers and propellant. Hornady’s meticulous manufacturing process sees to it that each and every Frontier round is loaded to consistent specifications, and their quality assurance protocol ensures that they’re all flawless before exiting their factory’s doors.Customer Reviews

Hot and accurate with minor quality issues...
-
Tried this out in my 26", 8 twist, 223 Wylde bolt gun and was surprised to get .55-.65" groups. Even more amazed the velocity was 2916 fps with a 34 ES. This has to be at the hot end of the load data so be sure you have a rifle that can take it. Much cheaper, faster, and just as accurate as Magtech 77gr. Only negative was several rounds had some good dents in the shoulder area, so watch out for quality issues.

Hornady American Gunner 38 Special 125 Grain XTP JHP – 250 Rounds
$209.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 125 Grain Bullet Type XTP Use Type home defense Casing Type Brass Quantity 250 Ammo Caliber 38 Special Manufacturer SKU 90324 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 10090255903246 Cost Per Round 83.9¢ per round Hornady didn’t load this 38 Special self-defense cartridge with just any old jacketed hollow point. That’s the eXtreme Terminal Performance – an unconventionally capitalized JHP that possesses the jacket concentricity and core uniformity requisite for pinpoint accuracy.
The XTP doesn’t merely seek out its target. It also delivers deleterious terminal ballistics inside of it thanks to its drawn gilding metal jacket. The jacket becomes thinner the closer it gets to the XTP’s rim, and the notches surrounding that rim strategically weaken the bullet even further. Even at lower velocities, the XTP remains remarkably effective.
The XTP’s jacket features the cannelure it needs to avoid setback in a revolver’s cylinder or lever-action rifle’s magazine, and also covers the nose cavity’s rim to help avert a poorly timed feeding jam. Hornady builds their American Gunner rounds with more than just high-quality bullets. These cartridges include the primo reloadable brass cases, Boxer primers and clean-burning powder that assure dependably functionality in all 357 Mag/38 Spl firearms. (900 fps muzzle velocity recorded with 4” test barrel.) -
Hornady American Gunner 223 Rem 55 Grain HP – 500 Rounds

This is Hornady’s American Gunner ammunition. Made in Nebraska. Premium reloadable brass cases. Super trustworthy primers. Propellant that won’t have you spending ages cleaning your rifle after target practice is over. Reliable functionality in all makes and models of firearms. These are all the patents of quality you should expect from any of Hornady’s fine ammo.
But the hollow point bullet is something extra special. That 55 grain projectile features a jacket with nigh perfect concentricity, which alongside its form-fitted rearward situated lead core ensures exemplary rotational stability and accuracy. So long as you don’t expect terminal expansion from the HP, it’s due to exceed your expectations.
Hornady recorded this round’s 3,240 fps muzzle velocity and its flat base bullet’s 0.254 G1 ballistic coefficient with a 24” test barrel. That translates to a trajectory which elevates 2.17” above the bore line while you’re aiming to 200 yards. -

The first don’t buy ammo. We won’t give them a name. The second do buy ammo. We call them “Americans.” The third buy ammo from Widener’s. We call them “True Americans.”
Which one are you?
If you’re a True American, then you’ll love Hornady’s American Gunner 223 Rem ammunition. It’s reliable as all get out in all sorts of firearms. It’s accurate to boot, because it’s loaded with Hornady’s premium 55 grain hollow point projectiles!
Now, don’t fire this ammo’s HP bullets expecting them to expand after striking a threat or a game animal. They only have nose cavities because their cores were created when Hornady injected liquid lead into their jackets. That process creates uniform and balanced cores, which is why this ammo’s bullets remain so stable in flight.
Hornady recorded this round’s 3,240 fps muzzle velocity and 0.254 G1 ballistic coefficient with a 24” barrel. By their measure, the bullet will clear a 200-yard zero at a velocity of 2,403 fps, and then proceed to drop to -7.6” at 300.

This is the 223 Rem ammo you want to chamber when accuracy is key – grouping tight shots through paper, or landing a single bullet clean between a gopher’s peepers.
Hornady utilizes the industry’s most advanced loading equipment and protocol when they piece together a Frontier load. This American-made ammo’s brass cases are military-grade, and you can see by their annealing that they’re poised to reload several times. This ammo’s primers are also military-grade, which promotes consistent ballistics along with its uniform propellant charges and bullet weights.
Each bullet is Hornady’s accurate BTHP Match. It features its manufacturer’s Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket and a form-fitted swaged lead core, both of which enhance in-flight stability to ensure the meplat is always pointed at its target. The BTHP Match’s secant ogive profile, boat tail and narrow hollow point meplat all decrease in-flight drag to flatten trajectory. Zero in at 200 yards and you can expect only 7.5” of bullet drop at 300!
The BTHP Match’s hollow point doesn’t affect terminal ballistics by creating expansion. The impact of a 68 grain bullet alone ought to take care of most varmint hunting and self-defense applications, though.Customer Reviews

Good Quality and Great Service

After spending a couple of hours looking for a decent price on 68 grain .223 BTHP ammo that was in stock, I finally found Widener's site, and they actually had it in stock. This ammo is pricy everywhere, but Widener's had it available for about a nickel per round below the next best price. I immediately placed an order, and the shipment showed up two days before I expected it. I will definitely look forward to looking to Widener's when I've saved up enough money for another purchase.

Their BLACK series 5.56x45 ammunition makes the perfect companion during any range day, as it’s loaded with the high-quality components and tight specs any rifle needs in order to do its best work.
Hornady loads this ammo so you can have the same recoil and trajectory that the U.S. Army’s M855 cartridge would have provided – without the magnetic bullet. Cut Hornady’s 62 grain FMJ in half and you’ll find a lead core, copper alloy, and no steel penetrator insert. The non-expanding FMJ’s mid-jacket cannelure effectively prevents setback in the magazine that could have interrupted feeding or thrown off seating depth.
BLACK ammo is loaded with reloadable brass cases. Its non-corrosive Boxer primers are sealed for added longevity in storage, and its propellant is consistently loaded to deliver a 3,060 fps muzzle velocity (20” test barrel), just like the M855. -

Hornady American Gunner 45 ACP 185 Grain XTP JHP – 200 Rounds
$194.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 185 Grain Bullet Type XTP Use Type home defense Casing Type Brass Quantity 200 Ammo Caliber 45 ACP (Auto) Manufacturer SKU 90904 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 10090255909040 Cost Per Round 97.4¢ per round Hornady has been at it since 1949. That’s over 70 years’ worth of experience you’re counting on when you choose the Nebraskan company’s American Gunner series 45 ACP ammo for your personal protection needs.
The eXtreme Terminal Performance jacketed hollow point is an accurate projectile. You often find it in handloaded match ammunition – but as its name suggests, it only exhibits its full potential when it is implemented in self-defense. The XTP features a drawn copper-alloy jacket. Unlike a conventional plated jacket, the XTP’s jacket is thick in its rear and grows thinner toward its tip. That makes the jacket surrounding the nose cavity weak enough to easily yield to rapid terminal expansion. And because the XTP’s rim is strategically weakened by an array of symmetrical notches, it is only more reliable at its most important job.
This ammo feeds with outstanding efficiency in a semi-automatic. The XTP’s jacket leaves no part of its swaged lead core exposed, which reduces the bullet’s risk of getting snagged during feeding. And because the XTP is seated in Hornady’s highest-quality brass case, the round is even better equipped to deliver the performance you deserve when your safety is at stake. -
Hornady Subsonic 9mm 147 Grain XTP JHP – 250 Rounds

Hornady Subsonic 9mm is no exception – it’s just specifically optimized to neutralize a threat indoors.
This cartridge has a softer report. Its chamber pressure meets SAAMI specs, but its heavyweight 147 grain bullet comes nowhere close to breaking the sound barrier. A cartridge which doesn’t sound a supersonic cracking report will enhance a suppressor’s functionality, though it’s still going to make a firearm operate more quietly even if it’s not sporting a suppressor.
This cartridge also has flash-suppressed propellant. Less muzzle flash means less of the light that can blind you in the dark, which in turn preserves your ability to direct rapid and accurate fire at the threat.
The XTP is a match accurate jacketed hollow point for self-defense. Its jacket is divided into symmetrical sections by strategically placed notches, and it gets thinner the closer it gets to the nose cavity. These two features ensure that the XTP widens out in uniform directions while still penetrating deeply.
This premium home defense ammo is also suitable for varmint hunting – especially if you’re doing the job with a suppressed carbine! -

The Nebraskan manufacturer labors over their components to ensure they adhere to their high standards, and closely inspects every round before it leaves their factory. When you invest in a box of American Gunner 40 S&W ammo, you can rest assured you’re packing some serious heat.
This round’s 180 grain XTP bullet offers a muzzle velocity considerably slower than the speed of sound – 950 fps, making it optimal for suppressor use. The XTP’s strong copper jacket shields the lead in its hollow point nose cavity, keeping it intact until penetration. The XTP’s strategically serrated jacket assures uniform mushrooming even at lower velocities.
Hornady swages the XTP’s lead core to improve its in-flight stability. Alongside so impressively concentric jacket and meticulously formulated propellant, you will benefit from consistent shot-to-shot ballistics. You can bank on great accuracy every time you fire an XTP – crucial when everything rides on your ability to actually strike your target and not merely whiff it. -

This 5.56x45 cartridge is designed to turn any AR-15 into a capable sniper rifle. It’s furnished with a heavyweight 68 grain bullet. It’ll stabilize best out of a rifle with a 1:8 barrel twist, but a little faster or slower twist will be okay as well. As a boat tail hollow point this bullet features a ballistically efficient profile and balanced, uniformly distributed lead core. It won’t expand inside of its target, but it’s certain to get there courtesy of its match grade accuracy.

$19.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 75 Grain Bullet Type Hollow-Point Boat Tail (HP-BT) Use Type match or precision shooting, plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 5.56x45mm Manufacturer SKU FR320 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 090255711615 Cost Per Round 99.2¢ per round This 5.56x45 cartridge is from Hornady’s Frontier line of ammunition, and was manufactured at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant to provide cost-effective but still admirable performance out of any rifle you could chamber it in. Its 75 grain projectile provides match grade accuracy thanks in large part to its boat tail design, which reduces the amount of turbulence it leaves in its wake during flight to flatten its trajectory and permit it to retain a greater part of its velocity after having traveled great distances. This bullet further sports a narrow hollow point meplat to improve its resistance to wind deflection.
Given its place of manufacture, this round features military grade components to complement its bullet’s high level performance. Its factory fresh brass casing is very durable with an annealed neck and shoulder, and able to withstand being reloaded multiple times. Its Boxer primer is extremely sensitive and non-corrosive, and its powder burns without producing harmful residues as well. -

Hornady Superformance Varmint 17 Hornet 20 Grain V-MAX – 25 Rounds
$24.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 20 Grain Bullet Type V-MAX Use Type varmint hunting Casing Type Brass Quantity 25 Ammo Caliber 17 Hornet Manufacturer SKU 83005 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 090255830057 Cost Per Round 99.4¢ per round This Superformance Varmint cartridge is ideal for any rifle chambered for 17 Hornet (Not 17 HMR). It features Hornady’s revered V-MAX, a bullet that’s accurate as all get out with its sharp polymer tip, swaged lead core, carefully angled boat tail, and concentric copper jacket. Said tip sits perched on the rim of the jacket and projects down into a hollow within the core. It builds up great energy upon impact before connecting with the core, at which point it lets loose simply devastating fragmentation. No varmints will be laughing at you when you’ve got that kind of destructive potential on your side.
Non-corrosive Boxer primer? Check. Precisely tapered new brass casing? Check. Clean burning propellant? Check. What we have got here is clearly a Hornady! -
Hornady Critical Defense 380 Auto 90 Grain FTX - 250 Rounds
$249.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 90 Grain Bullet Type Flex-Tip-Technology (FTX) Use Type home defense Casing Type Brass Quantity 250 Ammo Caliber 380 Auto (ACP) Manufacturer SKU 90080 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 10090255900801 Cost Per Round 99.9¢ per round Attention: Although this ammo typically features nickel-plated brass cases, supply chain issues have forced Hornady to temporarily load it with non-plated cases.
Hornady Critical Defense ammunition is just what you need to turn your .380 ACP handgun into a powerful tool for self-defense. Each cartridge in this case of 250 fires a 90 grain FTX jacketed hollow point bullet at a muzzle velocity of 1,000 feet per second.
The FTX bullet is a polymer tipped design that delivers high diameter expansion while protecting against clogging. Upon striking an assailant, the tip crushes into the expansion cavity and forces the bullet material outward for maximum terminal performance. A locking ring secures the core and jacket together to reduce separation risk.
This ammo is loaded in Grand Island, Nebraska and uses non-corrosive Boxer primers and brass cases. -
Hornady Subsonic 9mm 147 Grain XTP JHP – 25 Rounds
$25.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 147 Grain Bullet Type XTP Use Type home defense Casing Type Brass Quantity 25 Ammo Caliber 9mm Luger (9x19) Manufacturer SKU 90287 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 090255902877 Cost Per Round $1.03 per round Hornady Subsonic 9mm ammunition is designed to give any suppressed pistol the performance it needs to excel at home defense applications. But even if your pistol is unsuppressed, you’ll still find that this ammo has got a lot to offer!
Hornady’s XTP bullet is often favored by match shooters due to its excellent accuracy, which is largely the product of its uniformly distributed swaged lead core and concentric copper jacket. But as a jacketed hollow point, the XTP is also designed for terminal expansion. It mushrooms especially reliably thanks to its notched jacket, which splits apart evenly to give way to uniform expansion. The jacket is also tapered to help guide consistent expansion while simultaneously providing the weight retention needed for effectually deep penetration.
This round’s 147 grain bullet is heavy. It still builds up sufficient chamber pressure to cycle a semi-auto, but it also prevents ignition from sounding a supersonic cracking report. Flash-suppressed powder will produce less light, which is of especial benefit if you wish to conserve your eyesight in low-light conditions. The XTP’s fully jacketed rim and Hornady’s consistent brass cases, Boxer primers and propellant charges all do their parts to support reliable functionality in all makes and models of semi-autos. -

Hornady Critical Defense ammunition delivers strong penetration and expansion to stop attackers quickly and remove threats to life and limb. These cartridges come in a case of 250 and fire the Flex Tip jacketed hollow point bullet. The Flex Tip has a polymer nose inserted in the expansion cavity to provide more reliable feeding and better terminal ballistics.
Each round in this case fires a 115 grain version of the Flex Tip at a muzzle velocity of 1,135 feet per second. This is a standard pressure load that works well with compact concealed carry firearms.
Hornady ammo is loaded in Grand Island, Nebraska using non-corrosive Boxer primers and brass cases.

When you want your self-defense load to be as dependable as possible, your friends at Hornady are just the ones to turn to. This 9mm Critical Defense round is designed to feed, chamber and extract like clockwork, as well as deliver consistent recoil and ballistic performance with every trigger pull. The round’s sensitive primer reliably ignites its clean burning propellant, which is specially formulated to limit muzzle flash that would have impacted your night vision.
You can count on this round’s bullet to see you through a perilous encounter as well. It’s lightweight at only 115 grains, so recoil won’t throw your aim off too much. It’s also an FTX, which has a pliant polymer tip that will prevent the bullet’s hollow point nose cavity from choking on fabric before it can expand. The same tip also initiates violent expansion during penetration, so you’ll have the stopping power it takes to level threats fast. It’s peace of mind like only Hornady could provide, and you can depend on Wideners to ship fast and painlessly as well! -
Hornady BLACK 5.7x28mm 40 Grain V-MAX – 25 Rounds

Superior target and varmint hunting 5.7x28mm ammo by a trusted American manufacturer is even rarer still. That’s why we think it’s fair to say that you have found the jackpot. Hornady loads this BLACK label cartridge with the one and only V-MAX!
This round’s 40 grain bullet is a piece of polymer-tipped lightning. Its sleek meplat gives way to a gracefully tapered and thoroughly concentric Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket, complete with a swaged lead core for even better rotational stability. Once the flat-base bullet clears a 4.8” barrel’s muzzle at a rate of 1,810 fps, it’s going to show you just how accurate the little 5.7 can be.
The V-MAX’s real talent is its terminal ballistics. Once the tip connects with its target, its long tail rams into the precision-formed nose cavity surrounding it. This yields massive expansion, which is only made deadlier by the little flecks of shrapnel it throws out every which way. Just the thought of the V-MAX is enough to keep small game awake at night!
This ammo is loaded in good old Nebraska. It’s reloadable, it’s clean-shooting, and it ships fast. It’s the whole 5.7 yards! -

This reduces recoil, a feature of great value to those who carry a compact firearm for personal protection and would like to lessen the recoil they’re going to incur.
This round’s FTX projectile is wholly up to the task of personal protection. It’s a hollow point bullet with soft, pink polymer inside of its nose cavity that prevents clogging during penetration and afterward facilitates reliable, intensely harmful expansion. The “Flex Tip” is pink because Hornady donates part of the proceeds they make from their Critical Defense Lite line of ammo to breast cancer research!
Danger could strike at any moment, but it’s worst when it strikes in the dark. That’s why this round’s propellant charge is formulated to generate very little light when ignited -- with reduced muzzle flash, your first shot in the dark won’t be the last you’re capable of aiming properly!
Hornady’s top shelf brass cases, noncorrosive Boxer primers and low-fouling propellant are all engineered with outstanding reliability in mind. The Nebraskan outfit’s quality assurance team is very exacting, so you can take heart that this case of ammo contains 250 of the best solutions for personal protection with a smaller pistol on the market! -

Compared to other .38 loads, this ammo fires a light projectile at a high muzzle velocity and produces high diameter expansion.
Hornady Critical Defense ammo is made in the USA using non-corrosive primers and brass cases.

Hornady Critical Duty 9mm +P 124 Grain JHP – 250 Rounds

This law enforcement grade ammo is loaded to extremely high standards for quality, performance and reliability.
This cartridge is outfitted with Hornady’s own FlexLock bullet. The 124 grain JHP features a Flex Tip, which is essentially a polymer plug that keeps the nose cavity unobstructed by debris in the event that the FlexLock has to penetrate a barrier before reaching its target. The FlexLock is even better equipped to defeat barriers thanks to its InterLock band, which keeps its jacket and high-antimony lead core from separating from one another. As the FlexLock retains all the weight it needs to penetrate its target deeply, its Flex Tip presses into its nose cavity to yield wide terminal expansion. The FlexLock even boasts great accuracy, especially as its cannelure prevents setback in the case.
Critical Duty cartridges feature nickel-plated brass cases to reduce friction as a semi-auto feeds and ejects. In addition to promoting smoother functionality, this ammo’s nickel-plated cases protect it against corrosion and make it more visible in the dark.
This is +P ammunition. Its higher chamber pressure gives it more recoil, a flatter trajectory and more energy on impact. Please ensure your firearm is rated for +P before firing this ammo in it. -

Loaded with 62-grain full metal jacket bullets, these rounds give you better cycling from the magazine to the chamber and leave less fouling in the barrel. For a full day of target shooting, a few boxes of these targets will do the trick.
The full metal jacket bullet is one of the most popular projectiles for high-volume target practice. Because the bullet is wrapped in metal, the lead core does not leave a fouling residue in the barrel. Through hundreds of shots, you’ll have much better accuracy, helping you compete or train at the highest level.

These rounds use reloadable brass casings with nickel-plating which prevents corrosion from carry sweat and outdoor elements while also providing smoother feeding and extraction with any pistol. Each cartridge also uses a non-corrosive Boxer primer and clean-burning propellant which produces minimal muzzle flash, even with the short barrels of Makarovs, Hungarian PA-63s, and Polish P-64s.
Critical Defense brand ammo uses Hornady's FTX projectiles which are made with a hollow cavity filled by a flexible polymer tip. The tip serves as a windshield to reduce drag in flight and initiates a controlled rate of expansion on impact with a target. This method of construction more readily penetrates heavy clothing while promoting massive mushrooming for optimal threat-dropping cavitation.

Hornady Critical Defense Lite 9mm 100 Grain FTX – 25 Rounds
$28.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 100 Grain Bullet Type Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Use Type home defense Casing Type Brass Quantity 25 Ammo Caliber 9mm Luger (9x19) Manufacturer SKU 90240 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 090255902402 Cost Per Round $1.15 per round If you ever have to defend your own life, you’ll have plenty to worry about without adding heavy recoil to the list. Hornady Critical Defense Lite series 9mm ammunition is engineered to produce extremely light recoil – optimal if your physique falls on the smaller end of the spectrum, or you prefer a subcompact handgun for personal protection.
This round doesn’t use strange tricks to produce significantly lighter felt recoil. You see, recoil energy is determined by four factors: firearm weight, bullet weight, propellant weight and muzzle velocity. This round’s 1,125 fps muzzle velocity out of a 4” barrel is normal for a 115 grain projectile. But because its bullet weighs only 100 grains, it simply can’t kick the shooter with very much recoil!
The bullet is Hornady’s own FTX. It is a jacketed hollow point, with a skived jacket that splits apart to ensure reliable terminal expansion. The FTX’s nose cavity contains a polymer cylinder that prevents fabric from obstructing it and compromising its ability to expand within soft tissue. (The polymer is bubblegum pink because Hornady donates a portion of their proceeds from this ammo to breast cancer research!)
Hornady loads this ammo in Nebraska with superb brass cases and Boxer primers, as well as low-flash propellant that won’t instantly blind you should you have to open fire in a dark setting.Customer Reviews

Hornady Critical Defense 5.7x28mm 40 Grain JHP – 25 Rounds
$28.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 40 Grain Bullet Type Flex-Tip-Technology (FTX) Use Type home defense Casing Type Brass Quantity 25 Ammo Caliber 5.7x28mm Manufacturer SKU 90000 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 090255900002 Cost Per Round $1.15 per round As the creator of the V-MAX, Hornady has always been important to the 5.7x28mm ammunition world. It only stands to reason that the Nebraskan company would eventually begin loading their own 5.7 instead of letting FN Herstal do it for them. And here you go: Hornady Critical Defense ammo to complete your EDC loadout!
This cartridge doesn’t feature the V-MAX. Instead it showcases the reliable accuracy and terminal ballistics of Hornady’s very own FTX jacketed hollow point. The projectile capably defeats a heavily clothed threat courtesy of its Flex Tip, which prevents the nose cavity from becoming ineffective as a result of becoming obstructed with fabric particles. The force of penetration also compresses the supple Flex Tip, which only does more to secure rapid and injurious terminal expansion.
You won’t appreciate one of this ammo’s most helpful features unless you fire it at night. Its specially formulated propellant minimizes muzzle flash to ensure that bright light doesn’t undo your eyesight’s acclimation to low lighting – the reason why you’ll be able to maintain visual on the threat after squeezing off your first shot. -

Critical Duty rounds fire FlexLock bullets with a soft polymer insert that keeps material from clogging the hollow point and impairing the projectile's performance. The FlexLock also features the Interlock band to keep the core and jacket tightly bound together to prevent any risk of separation.
Each cartridge in this case of 250 (ideal for training) fires a heavy 135 grain version of the FlexLock at a muzzle velocity of 1,010 feet per second. This is a standard pressure load that will perform well in compact pistols without generating too much felt recoil.
Critical Duty ammunition is loaded in Grand Island, Nebraska using non-corrosive Boxer primers and brass cases which are nickel plated for additional durability over long periods of carry.Customer Reviews

$234.85Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 75 Grain Bullet Type Soft-Point (SP) Use Type home defense, hunting boar, hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 200 Ammo Caliber 5.56x45mm Manufacturer SKU 81296 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 10090255812968 Cost Per Round $1.17 per round A short-barreled rifle (SBR) is an excellent tool for personal defense. But if your barrel measures between 10.5” and 11.5”, then you would be well advised to select ammo which is specially intended for it.
Hornady’s BLACK series 5.56x45 ammo is loaded with the 75 grain InterLock HD SBR. It excels at initiating expansion flowing low-velocity impact courtesy of its exposed supple lead tip and grooved, tapered jacket. It also has the durability it needs to defeat a wide variety of common barriers thanks to its cannelure and InterLock ring, which doubly anchor its jacket and core together. Hornady designed the InterLock HD SBR to excel at the FBI test protocol for self-defense ammo. They succeeded.
This ammo’s powder is similarly engineered to supply optimal functionality in SBRs. It minimizes blinding muzzle flash, softens report to an impressive degree, produces extremely little fouling, and does not overheat a suppressor. Hornady’s best brass cases feed without hesitation, and their Boxer primers are intensely reliable.
Hornady also recommends this ammo for medium game. A great choice for a midnight boar bonanza! -

While Frontier rounds are frequently manufactured at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, the United States Army’s relative ambivalence toward the caliber likely contributed to Hornady making this round all by themselves.

This round’s 125 grain projectile has a full metal jacket, so it’ll function positively in any semi-automatic firearm and preserve accuracy as you shoot. The round’s factory fresh brass casing is sturdy yet supple enough at the neck and shoulder for repeated handloading, and the non-corrosive primer won’t cake your weapon’s sensitive action with residues that would treat it like lunch. Its carefully measured propellant is similarly clean burning as well! -

Its titular feature is what makes it exceptional: The ring embedded in the InterLock’s core keeps it firmly rooted to its jacket, which alongside its cannelure promotes exemplary weight retention during penetration. This is a soft point bullet, with a tapered jacket that is weakened by strategically placed grooves to deliver uniformly devastating expansion. The InterLock is inherently able to pierce even deeper thanks to its solid one-piece core.
Hornady’s attentive specialists made certain that their straight-walled brass shell casing, sensitive primer, and clean burning propellant charge all came together to form an exceptional cartridge. Even if your local laws don’t forbid you from using a tapered cartridge during deer season, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better hunting round for your money. -
