Lever gun enthusiasts can now harness the accuracy, power and long-range performance of a tipped bullet that&#039;s safe to load in tubular magazines.<\/p>\n<p>Hornady\u00ae offers the same Flex Tip\u00ae technology for handguns that revolutionized lever guns. Typical hollow point pistol bullets deliver good performance at modest velocities, but have a tendency to expand too quickly and sacrifice penetration at the higher velocities achieved with lever action guns.<\/p>\n<p>Patented Flex Tip\u00ae Bullet Technology<\/p>\n<p>Upon impact, the soft tip compresses into the bullet, initiating immediate expansion across a wide range of velocities. Safe to shoot in tubular magazines as well as any other firearm.<\/p>\n<p>InterLock\u00ae Ring<\/p>\n<p>The one-piece, high antimony lead core of the FTX\u00ae 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.<\/p>\n<p>Ballistically Efficient Secant Ogive<\/p>\n<p>Pioneered by Hornady,\u00ae the secant ogive profile delivers stability, flat trajectories and amazing accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>Specially Engineered Jacket<\/p>\n<p>The heavy jacket over the shank of the bullet combined with our proven InterLock\u00ae design controls expansion and enhances accuracy.<\/p>\n<h3>Specifications<\/h3>\n<table class=\"valley-enrich-specs\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Item #<\/th>\n<td>45015<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Product line<\/th>\n<td>FTX\u00ae<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Bullet<\/th>\n<td>\u2013<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Bullet weight<\/th>\n<td>325 gr<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Ballistic coefficient (G1)<\/th>\n<td>0.23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Sectional density<\/th>\n<td>0.221<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Box count<\/th>\n<td>50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Application<\/th>\n<td>Large Game 300-1500 lbs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"valley-enrich-source\">Product information courtesy of Hornady. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hornady.com\/bullets\/rifle\/45-cal-458-325-gr-ftx-45-70-450-marlin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hornady product page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hornady\u00ae FTX\u00ae bullets revolutionized lever gun ballistics, creating a new level of performance for these popular firearms.
