The Hornady Custom 460 S&W Magnum delivers exceptional terminal performance with its 200-grain FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet design. This premium handgun ammunition combines proven ballistics with innovative bullet technology for consistent expansion and deep penetration.
What Makes This Different
The patented Flex Tip technology eliminates clogging and ensures reliable expansion across all impact velocities. Unlike traditional hollow points that can plug with clothing or debris, the polymer tip initiates expansion while the InterLock ring mechanically locks the core and jacket together. This design prevents jacket-core separation and maintains 90% weight retention for maximum energy transfer.
Key Features
- 200-grain FTX bullet with polymer flex tip for consistent expansion
- InterLock ring prevents jacket-core separation during expansion
- Select brass cases with matched powder charges for optimal performance
- Muzzle velocity of 2,250 fps with 2,250 ft-lbs of energy

Field testing demonstrates exceptional accuracy and terminal performance across hunting scenarios. The 200-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for deep penetration on large game while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics. Weather-resistant primer sealing and case mouth treatment protect against moisture in adverse conditions. The carefully selected powder charge delivers consistent velocities shot after shot.
