The introduction of Hornady® FTX® bullets marked a groundbreaking advancement in lever gun ballistics, elevating the performance of these beloved firearms to unprecedented levels. Enthusiasts of lever guns can now enjoy the precision, potency, and extended-range capabilities of tipped bullets that can be safely loaded into tubular magazines.
Expanding on the success of Flex Tip® technology that transformed lever guns, Hornady® now extends this innovation to handguns as well. While conventional hollow point pistol bullets perform well at moderate speeds, they often exhibit rapid expansion and compromise penetration when exposed to the higher velocities attained by lever action guns.
Features -
PATENTED FLEX TIP® BULLET TECHNOLOGY - Upon impact, the soft tip compresses into the bullet, initiating immediate expansion across a wide range of velocities. Safe to shoot in tubular magazines as well as any other firearm.
INTERLOCK® RING - The one-piece, high antimony lead core of the FTX® is mechanically locked to the jacket with an InterLock ring. This, along with a specially designed jacket, results in reliable performance and maximum weight retention for deep penetration on large or heavy-bodied game animals.
BALLISTICALLY EFFICIENT SECANT OGIVE - Pioneered by Hornady,® the secant ogive profile delivers stability, flat trajectories and amazing accuracy.
SPECIALLY ENGINEERED JACKET - The heavy jacket over the shank of the bullet combined with our proven InterLock® design controls expansion and enhances accuracy.
