Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition safe to use in a tubular magazine lever-action rifle?
Yes. The Hornady LEVERevolution FTX was specifically engineered to be safe in tubular magazines. The patented elastomer Flex Tip compresses on impact rather than acting as a hard point, eliminating the risk of primer ignition from bullet-to-cartridge contact under recoil — a concern that previously limited pointed bullet designs in lever-action rifles.
How does the LEVERevolution compare to traditional 30-30 flat-nose loads?
Compared to conventional flat-nose or round-nose 30-30 loads, the LEVERevolution 160 gr FTX offers a significantly higher ballistic coefficient and a flatter trajectory. At 200 yards, you can expect several inches less drop than with a standard 150 or 170 grain flat-point load, extending the ethical hunting range of your lever-action rifle considerably.
What game is the 160 grain FTX load appropriate for?
The Hornady LEVERevolution 160 gr FTX is optimized for medium to large whitetail deer, mule deer, black bear, and similarly sized North American big game. The controlled expansion of the FTX bullet ensures reliable energy transfer and penetration across a wide range of shot distances and angles, making it a trusted choice for hunters in varied terrain.
