The Hornady FTX .30 caliber 160gr bullet (Hornady part no. 30396) brings Hornady’s Flex Tip eXpanding design to lever-gun cartridges such as .308 Marlin Express, where a tipped bullet needs to be safe for tubular magazine feeding. Like the FTX bullets designed for handguns, this rifle bullet features a unique flex tip with interlocking capability that keeps the jacket and core together for deeper penetration on impact. Big-game hunters who want a genuine one-shot kill depend on the power and accuracy this bullet provides, and its controlled expansion and flatter trajectory give lever-gun shooters ballistic performance closer to a modern bolt-action bullet.
