Overview
Designed for lever-action handguns and rifles that use tubular magazines, this bullet is intended to help reloaders build loads around Hornady’s Flex Tip technology. The tipped design is presented as a way to support accuracy, power, and longer-range performance while remaining suitable for tubular-magazine use. Hornady also positions it as an option for shooters who want more controlled expansion than typical hollow point pistol bullets at the higher velocities associated with lever guns. Load data should be verified through a reloading manual or the powder manufacturer’s website before use.
