Hornady FTX hunting ammo in .38/.357 caliber delivers a 140-grain Flex Tip eXpanding bullet purpose-built for handgun hunters and sport shooters who demand controlled expansion across a wide velocity range. The patented Flex Tip design sets this round apart from conventional hollow points: when the bullet strikes a target, the soft polymer tip compresses into the projectile, triggering reliable expansion while maintaining the penetration needed for ethical, effective hunting performance. Whether you're shooting from a revolver, semi-auto pistol, or lever-action rifle, the FTX round performs consistently without the reliability concerns that plague traditional hollow points at varying velocities.
This 140-grain bullet is engineered for hunters who won't compromise on terminal performance. The Flex Tip technology gives you the confidence to take shots at game, knowing your ammo will expand predictably without over-fragmenting or failing to penetrate. It's the same innovation that revolutionized lever-gun ballistics, now optimized for the .357 platform and handgun velocities you're actually running in the field.
Safe to load in any firearm—tubular magazines included—the FTX round simplifies ammunition selection and lets you focus on shot placement. For hunters working .38 or .357 platforms, this is purpose-built ammunition that delivers the terminal performance your hunting situation demands.
| Caliber | .38 / .357 |
| Bullet Weight | 140 grains |
| Bullet Type | Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) |
| Category | Reloading Component / Bullet |
Yes. The Flex Tip design is safe to load in tubular magazines as well as any other firearm configuration. The polymer tip will not cause accidental detonation when rounds are stacked in a tube.
The patented Flex Tip design uses a soft polymer tip that compresses into the bullet core upon impact, initiating expansion across a wide range of velocities. This provides more consistent expansion than conventional hollow points, which may expand too quickly at high velocities or fail to expand adequately at lower speeds.
These are bullets (reloading components). You will need to reload these onto your own brass with powder and primers to create finished ammunition.
The 140-grain FTX bullet in .38/.357 caliber works in .357 revolvers, semi-automatic pistols chambered in .357, .38 Special, or 9mm (where diameter matches), and lever-action rifles in those calibers. Always verify that your specific firearm can safely handle the load data and ballistics you develop with these bullets.
