Hornady FTX projectiles have revolutionised lever gun ballistics, bringing a new level of performance to these popular firearms. Lever gun enthusiasts can now harness the accuracy, power, and long-range performance of a tipped bullet that is safe to load in tubular magazines, ideal for hunting and sporting applications.

Hornady also offers the same Flex Tip technology for handguns. While typical hollow point pistol bullets deliver good performance at modest velocities, they can expand too quickly and sacrifice penetration at the higher velocities achieved with lever action firearms. FTX projectiles are designed to overcome this, providing reliable performance across a wider velocity range.

• Patented Flex Tip Bullet Technology: Upon impact, the soft tip compresses into the bullet, initiating immediate expansion across a wide range of velocities. These projectiles are 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, enhancing your shooting experience in the field.
• Specially Engineered Jacket: The heavy jacket over the shank of the bullet, combined with Hornady's proven InterLock design, controls expansion and enhances accuracy.
