Overview
Designed for handgun reloaders who want a tipped bullet option in a .45 caliber, this Hornady FTX projectile is intended for use in .460 S&W Magnum applications.

It is a practical choice for shooters building loads with a focus on performance from a handgun platform, while still following published reloading data for safe development. The 50-count box suits reloaders who want a consistent supply for range work or load testing.
