Hrndy Cd 32hr 80gr 25/250

Hornady Critical Defense 32 H&R Magnum 80 grain ammunition delivers premium self-defense performance optimized for concealed carry and personal protection applications. This factory-loaded round pairs proven bullet design with low-flash propellant chemistry to maintain shooter vision in defensive encounters while generating reliable terminal performance from short-barreled firearms.

The 80-grain FTX bullet incorporates Hornady's Flex Tip expanding design, engineered to expand consistently across varying target barriers while maintaining velocity and energy transfer. Loaded to 1,150 feet per second, this round achieves optimal ballistic performance in compact handgun platforms without sacrificing expansion reliability. The nickel-plated case improves visibility in low-light conditions and enhances corrosion resistance compared to standard brass cases—a critical factor for carry ammunition exposed to body heat, moisture, and environmental stress over extended periods. Premium low-flash propellants minimize muzzle flash signature, preserving shooter vision clarity in critical moments while reducing powder fouling typical of standard rifle powders.

This load is purpose-built for 32 H&R Magnum handgun platforms and serves shooters prioritizing ballistically sound self-defense ammunition over volume-oriented training rounds. The 32 H&R Magnum occupies a specific niche—offering higher velocity and energy than the 32 Auto while remaining manageable in recoil-sensitive or smaller-framed firearms. Each box contains 25 factory-loaded rounds, supporting both qualification and practice protocols. Critical Defense ammunition is widely adopted across concealed-carry communities and those seeking factory-matched terminal ballistics without reload variability.
