Hornady Critical Duty 357 Magnum 135 Grain FlexLock Ammo - Box of 25

The Hornady Critical Duty 357 Magnum 135 Grain FlexLock Ammo is a purpose-built defensive round designed for shooters who demand reliable, predictable terminal performance in real-world scenarios. This 357 Magnum load pairs Hornady's FlexLock bullet technology with a 135-grain projectile, balancing velocity and energy transfer for defensive applications where barrier performance and shot-to-shot consistency matter.

The FlexLock design is the standout here. Unlike traditional hollow-point rounds that can clog or plug when passing through barriers like clothing, vehicle glass, or drywall, the FlexLock's polymer tip works with the bullet's construction to maintain reliable expansion while resisting clogging. That means more predictable performance whether your shot is clean or complicated by intermediate barriers—a real consideration if you're relying on this round for protection.

Hornady built Critical Duty ammunition specifically for defensive use, with the kind of attention to quality control and consistency you expect from a premium self-defense round. This box contains 25 rounds, giving you a standard practice and carry quantity. Whether you're shooting a revolver or a lever-action rifle in 357 Magnum, this load delivers the dependability that makes it a trusted choice among those who understand the importance of ammunition selection.
