Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hornady LEVERevolution truly safe to use in tubular magazines?
Yes. Traditional spitzer (pointed) bullets pose a primer-ignition risk when stacked tip-to-primer in a tubular magazine. Hornady's patented elastomer Flex Tip is soft and compressible, eliminating that hazard while still delivering the aerodynamic profile and rapid expansion of a pointed projectile. It is fully safe for use in the tubular magazines found on lever-action rifles like the Winchester Model 94 and Marlin 336.
What game is the 165 grain FTX in .32 Winchester Special suitable for?
This load is well-suited for whitetail deer, mule deer, black bear, and wild hogs at typical hunting distances — generally inside 200 yards. The FTX bullet's controlled expansion ensures adequate penetration and reliable energy transfer on medium-to-large game. It is not recommended for varmint hunting, as the bullet is designed for larger, thicker-skinned animals.
How does LEVERevolution compare to traditional .32 Win Special flat-nose loads?
Compared to conventional flat-nose or round-nose .32 Winchester Special ammunition, Hornady LEVERevolution offers a significantly higher ballistic coefficient, resulting in less bullet drop and retained energy at distance. At 200 yards, LEVERevolution can drop several inches less than a comparable flat-nose load — a meaningful advantage when holding on a deer-sized target. The FTX bullet also expands more consistently across a wider velocity range than traditional lead-tip designs.
