The Hornady LEVERevolution .35 Remington 200gr FTX (Hornady part no. 82735) is a .35 Remington load that drives a 200-grain FTX bullet. Hornady designs its LEVERevolution line for lever action rifles and revolvers around the patented elastomer Flex Tip technology of its FTX and MonoFlex bullets. Hornady says those bullets are safe to use in tubular magazines and carry higher ballistic coefficients for a flatter trajectory than conventional bullets. Modern propellants are matched to the load for maximum muzzle velocity at conventional pressures. Each box holds 20 rounds, a practical count for the lever gun shooter who wants more downrange energy.
