Description

Hornady Leverevolution 444 Marlin 265gr FTX #82744

LEVERevolution is a revolution in the design of munitions for lever action rifles and revolvers. The proprietary elastomer Flex Tip technology of the FTX and MonoFlex bullets is the key to their innovation and performance. These bullets are safe to use in tubular magazines and have greater ballistic coefficients, resulting in a considerably flatter trajectory for improved down-range performance.

FLEX TIP TECHNOLOGY

The patented Flex Tip technology of the FTX and MonoFlex bullets provides higher ballistic coefficients and velocity increases of up to 250 fps over traditional flat point loads while still providing shock-absorbing safety in tubular magazines.

MODERN PROPELLANTS

New propellants provide maximum muzzle velocity at conventional pressures, resulting in flatter trajectories and more downrange energy. Exceptional accuracy and overwhelming downrange terminal performance.

OVERWHELMING PERFORMANCE

LEVERevolution ammunition outperforms conventional loads for high-weight retention, delivering up to 40% more energy than traditional flat-point bullets. The higher ballistic coefficients of the FTX and MonoFlex bullets produce consistently flatter trajectories than conventional bullets and provide overwhelming downrange terminal performance.

FAQs

1. What makes FTX different from traditional bullets?

✔ The soft polymer tip:

  • Improves aerodynamics
  • Is safe in tubular magazines (won’t set off primers)

2. Is this suitable for deer hunting?

✔ Yes.
It is highly effective for deer and similar-sized game, offering strong expansion and penetration.

3. Can it be used for large game like bear?

✔ Yes.
The .444 Marlin with a 265gr bullet is powerful enough for black bear and large-bodied animals.

4. Will it work in older .444 rifles?

⚠️ Not always ideal.
Older 1:38 twist barrels may have poor accuracy with FTX bullets.

5. Does it increase range?

✔ Yes.
Compared to flat-point bullets, LEVERevolution ammo extends effective range and improves trajectory.
