The Hornady FTX .30 Caliber 160gr rifle bullet (brand part no. 30395) uses Hornady’s patented Flex Tip to solve a problem tube-fed lever guns have always had with pointed bullets: tip-to-primer contact in the magazine. Hornady pairs that soft, flexible tip with a secant ogive profile, a thinner tapered front section, and an extended bearing surface, giving the FTX a much higher ballistic coefficient than a traditional flat- or round-nose lever-gun bullet. Its high-antimony lead core is locked to the jacket with an InterLock ring for reliable expansion and deep penetration on large or heavy-bodied game. It ships 100 to a box.
