In the realm of firearms, where precision and performance are paramount, Hornady's FTX bullets stand as a testament to innovation in ballistics. Specifically engineered for lever-action rifles, these projectiles have redefined expectations by combining accuracy with formidable stopping power. Lever gun aficionados can now experience long-range efficiency thanks to the Flex Tip technology that allows safe loading into tubular magazines.
The 45 Caliber FTX (450 Bushmaster) bullet exemplifies this technological leap. With a diameter of .452 inches and a weight of 250 grains, it strikes an ideal balance between mass and velocity. The ballistic coefficient of .210 ensures reduced drag during flight, while the sectional density of .175 contributes to deeper penetration on impact.
Hornady's patented Flex Tip® Bullet Technology is at the heart of this advancement. It employs an InterLock® Ring that mechanically secures the core and jacket together—ensuring structural integrity upon impact. This combination results in controlled expansion without sacrificing depth when engaging targets at varying distances.
The design does not stop there; a ballistically efficient secant ogive further enhances aerodynamic stability for flatter trajectories—a crucial factor for hunters pursuing big game who demand both precision and lethality from their ammunition.
As with all Hornady products, quality is never compromised despite being offered at competitive prices. For those seeking reliability under challenging conditions or aiming for that decisive one-shot kill, these rifle bullets deliver unwavering confidence through superior engineering.
