Performance Technology

Patented Flex Tip Design The FTX tip compresses upon impact, initiating controlled expansion that transfers energy immediately while maintaining penetration. This design delivers devastating temporary cavity effects even at lower velocities—a significant advantage over traditional hollow points that tend to over-expand and lose penetrating power.

InterLock Ring Hornady's mechanically locked core-to-jacket design maximizes weight retention and ensures deep, consistent penetration through intermediate barriers.

Ballistically Efficient Secant Ogive The optimized nose profile delivers flat trajectories and exceptional accuracy while promoting stability in flight.

Heavy Jacket Construction The reinforced jacket over the bullet's shank works in concert with the InterLock design to control expansion and enhance accuracy across varying velocities.

Why Choose FTX

These bullets are engineered for shooters who demand reliable expansion across a broad velocity range. Whether you're loading for standard .45 Colt or higher-velocity applications, FTX technology ensures consistent, controlled performance. The tubular-magazine-safe design makes them ideal for lever-action enthusiasts seeking modern ballistic performance.
