Hornady LEVERevolution 45 Colt 225gr FTX - Rifle Ammo - 20rd

45 Colt from a lever-action carbine is a medium-range hunting proposition that flat-nose ammo has always undersold. Hornady LEVERevolution 45 Colt 225gr FTX gives the cartridge the pointed bullet it was never able to use in a tubular magazine — meaningful BC improvement, better retained energy, and reliable FTX expansion at the distances the cartridge is now capable of reaching.

At typical lever-gun hunting distances, the FTX's expansion is reliable and the energy is adequate for deer and black bear — a capability combination that traditional 45 Colt loads at the same bullet weight struggle to achieve. The 225gr FTX initiates reliable expansion across a wide range of terminal velocities, including the reduced velocities at extended defensive and hunting distances.

Designed for lever-action rifles with tubular magazines in 45 Colt. The flexible tip is tested to remain safe under the recoil forces of full-power 45 Colt loads in tubular stacking configurations. .45 Colt was the original chambering for the Colt Single Action Army and remains popular in revolvers and lever guns.

Propellant matched to deliver consistent velocity from cold-bore shots through a warm barrel during a full hunting day. Brass inspected for dimensional consistency to ensure reliable extraction in lever-action feed systems, which are less tolerant of out-of-spec brass than bolt-action designs.

Built for hunters who know what their 45 Colt lever gun is capable of and want ammunition that matches that capability — and for cowboy-action and lever-gun competition shooters who want a consistent, accurate load for scored stages.

Hornady LEVERevolution changed what lever-action hunters expect from factory ammunition. Made in the USA since its introduction, still the standard for lever-gun performance.
