Hornady LEVERevolution .444 Marlin 265gr FTX ammunition was developed to improve the performance of lever-action rifles with tubular magazines. Traditional flat-point bullets are typically required in these rifles for safety, but Hornady’s Flex Tip® technology allows a more aerodynamic bullet shape while remaining safe for tubular magazine firearms.
The 265-grain FTX® projectile uses a soft polymer tip that compresses on impact to initiate rapid and reliable expansion across a wide range of velocities. This design improves both ballistic performance and terminal effectiveness for hunting applications.
Compared to traditional lever-gun ammunition, the improved bullet profile provides a higher ballistic coefficient and increased velocity, resulting in a flatter trajectory and greater downrange energy.
With a muzzle velocity of approximately 2325 feet per second, this load delivers strong impact energy and dependable terminal performance, making it an excellent option for deer, hogs, and other large game typically hunted with lever-action rifles.
