Description
380 Auto 90 grain FTX ammo from Hornady Critical Defense gives shooters a premium .380 ACP load in a 250-round case. Each round uses a 90-grain FTX bullet with new brass casing, Boxer primer, and clean-burning propellant.
Hornady lists this 90080 load at 1,000 fps with 200 ft-lbs of muzzle energy from a 4-inch test barrel. The FTX bullet uses a Flex Tip design that helps resist clogging and supports controlled expansion, especially in short-barreled concealed-carry style pistols. You can review the official Hornady 380 Auto Critical Defense specs for manufacturer ballistic data.
Each case includes 10 boxes of 25 rounds, making it useful for function testing, carry-load confirmation, and stocking one consistent .380 ACP defensive-style load. The nickel-plated case also improves visibility during chamber checks and supports smooth feeding in compatible pistols.
Compared with standard .380 FMJ range loads, Hornady Critical Defense is built around an expanding FTX projectile rather than a non-expanding training bullet. For related options, browse 380 ACP Ammo and Bulk Handgun Ammo.
