Hornady Critical Defense ammunition in .30 Carbine (brand part no. 81030) is built to perform equally well on a home-defense nightstand or a hunting trip. Hornady manufactures this load to consistent tolerances, so every box performs the same as the last. At the heart of this load is the 110 gr bullet with a flex tip (FTX) design, matched to the .30 Carbine platform shooters already run. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this is the Hornady load built for that job.
