The .32 Winchester Special has been a dependable caliber for lever-action hunters for over a century, but Hornady's LEVERevolution line brings this classic cartridge into the modern era. The 165-grain FTX bullet features a soft polymer tip that gives you the aerodynamic benefits of a pointed bullet without compromising safety in your rifle's tubular magazine.
Traditional lever gun ammunition uses flat or blunt noses for safety reasons, but those designs sacrifice ballistic performance. With LEVERevolution, the patented Flex Tip technology solves that problem by providing a sharper profile that cuts through the air far more efficiently. You're looking at velocity increases of up to 250 feet per second over conventional loads, combined with a higher ballistic coefficient that delivers genuinely flatter trajectories downrange. Real-world testing shows these rounds maintain energy and accuracy well beyond typical hunting distances.
The 165-grain projectile hits with about 40% more energy than you'd get from older flat-point factory loads, making this ammunition suitable for medium to large game. The bullet itself incorporates an Interlock core that keeps the jacket and core together through the target, ensuring both reliable expansion and deep penetration. At a muzzle velocity of 2,410 feet per second and 2,128 foot-pounds of energy, this is serious hunting ammo that performs in the field.
Each box contains 20 rounds of fresh Hornady factory ammunition with non-corrosive primers and quality brass casing. The ammunition is loaded with modern propellants that deliver maximum velocity at conventional pressure levels. One note from the manufacturer: some older rifles with original magazine followers may not feed the last round perfectly with this design. If you have a vintage rifle, a newer follower usually solves the issue and is a quick upgrade.
Yes. The soft elastomer Flex Tip is specifically designed to be safe in tubular magazines where rounds are stacked nose-to-tail. Unlike pointed bullets that could contact the primer of the round ahead and risk accidental detonation during handling or recoil, the flexible polymer tip compresses without igniting the primer. This is one of the core innovations that makes LEVERevolution ammunition work.
The improvement is substantial. The FTX delivers up to 250 feet per second more velocity and roughly 40% more energy than traditional flat-point .32 Special ammunition. The higher ballistic coefficient means the bullet maintains speed and energy far better downrange. In practical terms, you get flatter trajectory and more reliable expansion across hunting distances.
This ammunition is designed for .32 Winchester Special rifles, including Winchester Model 94s, Marlin rifles, and other lever-action platforms chambered in this caliber. Some older rifles may need a modern magazine follower to feed the last round reliably with the pointed FTX bullet design, but this is a simple upgrade if needed.
Absolutely. The 165-grain projectile with premium Interlock construction provides controlled expansion and deep penetration. It's suitable for medium to large game at typical lever-action hunting distances, which generally run from close range out to around 200 yards.
