Product Description
Hornady FTX projectiles have transformed lever gun ballistics, setting a new standard of performance for these popular firearms. Lever gun enthusiasts can now experience the accuracy, power, and long-range capabilities of a tipped bullet designed for safe loading in tubular magazines. These .357 projectiles are also ideal for reloading .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges for various sporting and hunting applications.
Hornady extends its innovative Flex Tip technology to handguns. While traditional hollow point pistol bullets perform well at moderate velocities, they can expand too rapidly, potentially compromising penetration when used in higher-velocity lever action firearms. FTX projectiles are engineered to overcome this, providing reliable expansion and consistent penetration across a wider velocity range, making them suitable for a broad spectrum of hunting scenarios.
Key Features
| Patented Flex Tip Bullet Technology | Upon impact, the soft tip compresses into the projectile, initiating immediate expansion across a wide range of velocities. These projectiles are safe for use in tubular magazines and other firearms. |
| InterLock Ring | The one-piece, high antimony lead core of the FTX is mechanically locked to the jacket with an InterLock ring. This, combined with a specially designed jacket, ensures reliable performance and maximum weight retention for deep penetration on large or heavy-bodied game animals encountered during hunting. |
| Ballistically Efficient Secant Ogive | Pioneered by Hornady, the secant ogive profile provides exceptional stability, flat trajectories, and outstanding accuracy for sporting and hunting applications. |
| Specially Engineered Jacket | The heavy jacket over the shank of the projectile, combined with Hornady's proven InterLock design, controls expansion and enhances accuracy. |
