Hornady LEVERevolution 44 Rem Mag 225gr FTX Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Hornady LEVERevolution 44 Rem Mag delivers superior terminal performance through innovative Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) bullet technology. This ammunition transforms lever-action rifles by enabling safe tubular magazine loading while maximizing ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and increased downrange energy.

What Makes This Different

Traditional lever-action ammunition requires flat-nose bullets to prevent chain-fire detonation in tubular magazines, limiting ballistic performance. The FTX bullet features a flexible polymer tip that compresses on impact rather than transmitting energy to primers ahead in the magazine. This design allows pointed bullet profiles that achieve 250 fps higher velocities and 40% more energy at 200 yards compared to conventional flat-nose loads.

Key Features

• 225-grain Flex Tip eXpanding bullet for controlled expansion and deep penetration
• Polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities down to 1600 fps
• Secant ogive bullet profile reduces drag coefficient by 20%
• Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and ensure smooth feeding
• Optimized powder charge delivers 1410 fps muzzle velocity
• Safe for use in all tubular magazine lever-action rifles
• Premium brass cases suitable for reloading applications

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-inch groups at 100 yards from quality lever-action rifles. The 225-grain bullet weight provides excellent penetration for medium to large game hunting while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics. Terminal ballistics show reliable expansion to 1.6x original diameter with 85% weight retention through ballistic gelatin. Weather-resistant nickel plating prevents corrosion during extended field carry in humid conditions.
