Hornady FTX® Bullets: Revolutionizing Lever Gun Performance

The introduction of Hornady's FTX bullets marks a significant advancement in the realm of lever-action firearms. For enthusiasts who appreciate the classic charm and functionality of lever guns, these bullets offer an unprecedented combination of accuracy, power, and long-range capability.

The cornerstone of this innovation is Hornady's patented Flex Tip technology. This design enables shooters to safely load tipped bullets into tubular magazines—a feature previously considered incompatible with traditional hollow point designs. The result is a bullet that not only enhances ballistic performance but also maintains safety standards.

Designed specifically for handguns as well as rifles, Hornady has extended this groundbreaking technology beyond just lever-action firearms. While conventional hollow point pistol rounds perform satisfactorily at lower velocities, they often expand too rapidly when fired from higher velocity weapons like those chambered in lever actions—compromising penetration depth. In contrast, FTX bullets provide controlled expansion across an extensive range of speeds without sacrificing penetration or terminal effectiveness.

Key features include:

• Caliber/Type: .38 Caliber FTX®
• Diameter: .357 inches
• Weight: 140 grains
• Ballistic Coefficient (BC): .160
• Sectional Density (SD):.157
• Tubular Magazine Safety: The patented Flex Tip design ensures safe loading in all tubular magazines.
• Broad Velocity Range Expansion: Flex Tip technology delivers predictable expansion over a wide spectrum of velocities—ensuring consistent impact energy transfer even at lower speeds.
• This ammunition offers one of the flattest trajectories ever achieved by lever guns enhancing long-distance shooting precision.

The jacket construction further supports optimal performance by controlling how and when expansion occurs while simultaneously improving overall shot accuracy.

If you seek to bring modern ballistics into your beloved classic firearm platform look no further than Hornady’s revolutionary offering—the FTX bullet represents unmatched engineering tailored precisely towards discerning shooters who demand excellence both historically respected arms alongside contemporary technological advances.
