Hornady FTX Rifle Bullets .45 cal .452" 250 gr FTX 50/ct

Hornady FTX Rifle Bullets .45 cal .452" 250 gr FTX are purpose-built projectiles designed for hunters, precision shooters, and tactical operators who demand terminal performance and accuracy from their lever-action and single-shot rifles. These bullets represent the evolution of the Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) platform, specifically optimized for the .45 caliber cartridge, addressing reliability issues associated with traditional hollow-point designs.

The 250-grain FTX features Hornady's patented elastomer Flex Tip insert, which compresses on impact to initiate controlled expansion while preventing deformation during feeding and handling. This design generates consistent expansion at both close and extended ranges, critical when operating in variable field conditions where velocity degradation is inevitable. The heavy 250-grain weight, combined with a .452" diameter, delivers deep penetration and momentum retention essential for larger game or barrier-resistant tactical scenarios.

Manufacturing tolerances are held tight across each box of 50 rounds, ensuring shot-to-shot consistency that minimizes vertical spread at distance and reduces velocity variance—factors that directly impact group size and terminal ballistics predictability. Experience the precision and reliability that Hornady is known for with these FTX projectiles, perfect for those looking to enhance their shooting performance.
