Description
If you run a Henry or Marlin in .41 Magnum, or pair a .41 revolver with lever-gun hunting, this is the ammunition that finally brings the cartridge into the modern era. The Hornady LEVERevolution 190-grain load transforms the .41 from an underappreciated classic into a genuinely capable mid-range hunting round.
The Flex Tip Design Makes All the Difference
The real innovation here is the polymer-tipped FTX bullet. Instead of the flat nose design that .41 magnum ammunition has traditionally relied on, you get a tapered, pointed profile. That soft elastomer tip compresses safely when cartridges stack in a tubular magazine, eliminating any risk of chain-firing, while still initiating rapid expansion on impact. It's the best of both worlds for lever-gun shooters who want modern ballistic performance without worrying about magazine safety.
Better Velocity and Downrange Performance
You're looking at 1620 fps muzzle velocity and 1107 foot-pounds of energy from this 190-grain projectile. That higher ballistic coefficient delivers a noticeably flatter trajectory than what you'd get with conventional .41 ammo, which means more precise aiming at distance and better energy retention on target. Field reports consistently show improved grouping and accuracy compared to older flat-point loads, whether you're shooting from a rifle or a revolver.
Built on Solid Brass
Each round uses brass-cased ammunition with non-corrosive primers and quality powder. The ammunition cycles reliably in both lever guns and revolvers, with no feeding or extraction issues reported from real-world use. You get 20 rounds per box, making it practical for hunting trips or range sessions where you want to put some rounds downrange and trust your gear will perform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is LEVERevolution .41 Mag safe to use in a tube magazine?
Yes. The flexible polymer tip is specifically designed to compress safely inside tubular magazines without creating a chain-fire risk. Unlike traditional pointed bullets, the soft elastomer tip won't strike the primer of the round ahead during recoil, making it safe for any lever-action gun with a tube magazine. This is one of the key advantages of the FTX design.
What's the difference between this ammo and regular .41 Magnum loads?
Traditional .41 ammo typically uses flat-nose bullets for magazine safety, which limits how aerodynamic they can be. The LEVERevolution load combines the safety of a flexible tip with a tapered, pointed bullet shape that delivers significantly better ballistic coefficient, resulting in flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and more energy downrange. You're also getting modern propellants optimized for velocity and consistency.
Will this work in both my revolver and my lever gun?
Yes. Hornady engineered this ammunition to perform in both platforms. It cycles reliably in standard .41 Magnum lever-action rifles and compatible revolvers like the Ruger Blackhawk and Smith & Wesson Model 57. Some newer firearms may benefit from updated magazine followers, so check your manual if you experience any feeding issues with the last round in a magazine.
What kind of game is this suitable for hunting?
The 1620 fps muzzle velocity with 1107 foot-pounds of energy makes this a solid medium-game load. It's popular for deer, hogs, and similar-sized game with proper shot placement. The improved ballistics and flatter trajectory compared to traditional .41 loads give you better accuracy and energy retention at practical hunting distances.
