Who This Is For
This ammunition is purpose-built for hunters pursuing whitetail deer, hogs, and black bear, as well as lever-action enthusiasts who want to extract every yard of effective range from their .44 Magnum rifle or revolver. It's equally well-suited for handgun hunters who need dependable expansion and deep penetration from a compact, hard-hitting round.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Hornady LEVERevolution 44 Magnum in both a lever-action rifle and a revolver?
Yes. The LEVERevolution 44 Magnum 225 gr FTX is specifically engineered to be safe in tubular magazines, making it an excellent choice for lever-action rifles like the Marlin 1894. It is also fully compatible with standard .44 Magnum revolvers. Keep in mind that muzzle velocity will vary between a rifle-length barrel and a handgun barrel — rifle barrels will produce velocities closer to the rated 1,410 fps, while revolver barrels will yield somewhat lower figures.
Is the FTX bullet effective for deer and hog hunting?
Absolutely. The Flex Tip design initiates reliable, controlled expansion even at reduced impact velocities, making the 225 gr FTX effective on whitetail deer, feral hogs, and similarly sized game at typical lever-gun hunting distances. The combination of a high ballistic coefficient and 1,410 fps muzzle velocity extends effective range compared to traditional flat-nose or round-nose .44 Magnum loads, giving hunters greater flexibility in the field.
How should I store unused LEVERevolution ammunition to maintain performance?
Store your Hornady LEVERevolution ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and moisture. Keep rounds in their original box when not in use to prevent physical damage to the FTX tip, which is essential to reliable expansion performance. Properly stored ammunition can maintain its performance characteristics for many years. Avoid storing ammo in vehicles or areas with high humidity for extended periods.
