In the realm of precision and power, Hornady's .338 Caliber FTX® Rifle Bullets stand as a testament to superior engineering and ballistic efficiency. Designed for those who pursue big game with an unwavering commitment to accuracy, these bullets are crafted not just for performance but for excellence in every shot.
The .338 caliber FTX® bullet embodies innovation through its patented Flex Tip® technology. This design ensures controlled expansion upon impact, offering deeper penetration that is crucial when targeting large game. The bullet’s diameter measures precisely at .338 inches, while weighing in at a formidable 200 grains—striking the ideal balance between heft and speed.
A key feature of this projectile is its InterLock® ring system. This mechanism mechanically locks the core and jacket together, ensuring that they remain unified upon impact which results in consistent terminal performance—a critical factor when one-shot reliability is paramount.
The ballistic coefficient stands at an impressive .430, indicating exceptional aerodynamic properties that promise flatter trajectories over long distances. Coupled with a sectional density of .250, this translates into remarkable stability during flight and enhanced energy retention on target.
Hornady has also integrated a ballistically efficient secant ogive profile into the design of these bullets. This advanced geometry reduces drag significantly compared to traditional designs, allowing hunters to achieve greater accuracy over extended ranges without sacrificing velocity or energy transfer.
Every aspect of this ammunition—from its specially engineered heavy jacket covering the shank to its innovative interlocking features—is meticulously designed for those who demand nothing less than perfection from their equipment. In choosing Hornady's FTX rifle bullets, you're investing in both quality craftsmanship and unparalleled value—traits synonymous with the brand itself—and equipping yourself with ammunition built not only to meet expectations but exceed them decisively on any hunting expedition you undertake.
