Hornady LEVERevolution represents a significant shift in how .44 Magnum ammunition can perform from lever-action rifles and revolvers. For years, lever gun owners were stuck with flat-point bullets to keep tubular magazines safe, which meant accepting slower velocities and higher bullet drop at distance. The FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet changes that equation completely.
The polymer tip mimics the ballistic profile of a spitzer bullet while the elastomer compound deforms on impact rather than on primer contact, so it's completely safe in tubular magazines. That means you're getting the velocity and trajectory benefits of a modern pointed bullet without the risk. The ballistic coefficient of 0.145 is dramatically higher than traditional lever-action loads, resulting in a flatter arc downrange and more retained energy at distance. Combined with Hornady's optimized propellant formula, these rounds leave the barrel at 1410 fps with 993 foot-pounds of muzzle energy from a 7.5-inch test barrel.
Where this ammo really shines is in terminal performance. Upon impact, the flexible tip collapses into the hollow point cavity and initiates controlled, violent expansion. The InterLock feature keeps the jacket and core bonded together during expansion, resulting in weight retention and deeper penetration than traditional flat-point magnums. Real-world testing shows this delivers up to 40% more energy transfer than conventional .44 loads, making it effective for medium and large game.
The 225-grain bullet weight strikes a balance between velocity and knock-down power, with excellent accuracy at typical hunting ranges. It runs through lever-actions and revolver cylinders smoothly, though Hornady recommends against storing these in tubular magazines for extended periods to prevent tip compression. For hunting or range use, this ammunition delivers the flatter shooting characteristics of a rifle cartridge with the proven power of the .44 Magnum.
Yes, the polymer tip is designed to deform on impact rather than with primer pressure, making it safe for tubular magazines. However, Hornady recommends against storing these rounds in tubular magazines for extended periods, as the tips can compress over time. Load them fresh before each shooting session for best results.
Hornady claims velocity increases of up to 250 fps over traditional flat-point .44 Magnum loads, thanks to the optimized propellant formula and the aerodynamic FTX bullet design. You'll notice the flatter trajectory and retained energy, especially at distances beyond 75 yards.
Yes, LEVERevolution ammunition functions reliably in both lever-action rifles and revolvers. The 225-grain bullet and 1410 fps velocity from a typical revolver barrel will be slightly lower than from a rifle, but you'll still get excellent performance and accuracy.
The 225-grain FTX bullet with controlled expansion makes these rounds ideal for medium game such as deer and wild boar, and they're effective on larger game as well. The combination of velocity, ballistic coefficient, and terminal performance gives you reliable expansion and penetration at typical hunting distances.
