This video features an expert firearms instructor conducting a ballistic gelatin test of Hornady's 73-grain Critical Defense FTX ammunition fired from a 16-inch barrel. The test reveals significant expansion and fragmentation but a penetration depth of nearly 12 inches, which the instructor deems borderline for defensive use. He compares this performance to other superior Hornady offerings and recommends alternative 5.56mm loads for better defensive performance.
