Hornady LEVERevolution .32 Winchester Special ammunition (brand part no. 82732) loads a 165-grain Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) bullet, engineered specifically to solve a problem that has limited lever-action rifles for over a century: a pointed spitzer bullet cannot safely ride nose-to-primer in a tubular magazine without risking a chain-fire under recoil. Hornady’s soft polymer tip is flexible enough to sit safely against the primer ahead of it in the tube, while still giving the bullet a spitzer-like profile that improves ballistic coefficient over the flat or round-nose bullets tubular magazines have always required. On impact, that same polymer tip drives rapid, reliable expansion, giving .32 Winchester Special genuinely modern trajectory and terminal performance from a classic lever gun. For .32 Winchester Special lever-action owners who want modern ballistics from a classic platform, this rifle ammunition from Hornady is built for exactly that.
