Hornady FTX .45 Caliber 200gr Handgun Bullets

Hornady FTX .45 Caliber Handgun Bullets

Hornady's FTX handgun bullets represent a significant advancement in pistol ammunition design, bringing proven lever-gun technology to the handgun market. These .452" diameter, 200-grain bullets deliver the controlled expansion and deep penetration that serious shooters demand.

Key Features

• Patented Flex Tip Technology: Upon impact, the polymer tip compresses into the bullet's cavity, initiating controlled expansion and immediate energy transfer
• InterLock Ring: Mechanically locks the core and jacket together, maximizing weight retention and ensuring deep penetration
• Secant Ogive Profile: Delivers ballistic efficiency, flat trajectories, and exceptional accuracy
• Heavy Jacket Design: The reinforced jacket over the bullet's shank works with the InterLock system to control expansion and enhance accuracy

Performance Characteristics

Unlike typical hollow-point pistol bullets that expand too quickly and sacrifice penetration at higher velocities, FTX bullets achieve reliable expansion across a broad velocity range. This makes them ideal for both standard and magnum handgun loads. The design ensures a devastating temporary cavity even at lower velocities, while maintaining the structural integrity needed for deep, consistent penetration.
