The Hornady FTX Hunting Ammo in .45 caliber with 200-grain Flex Tip bullets brings proven lever-gun technology to handgun hunting and sport shooting. These aren't your standard hollow points—Hornady engineered the FTX specifically to deliver consistent expansion and deep penetration across a wide velocity range, whether you're shooting from a pistol, revolver, or any other firearm. The soft polymer tip compresses reliably on impact to initiate expansion without the over-expansion and poor penetration that plague conventional hollow points at higher velocities.
What sets the FTX apart is the combination of three core technologies working together. The patented Flex Tip design gives you predictable performance from subsonic to full-power loads. The InterLock ring mechanically locks the lead core to the jacket, ensuring the bullet stays together through bone and heavy muscle for maximum weight retention and penetration on game. The heavy jacket over the bullet's shank works with that InterLock design to control how fast the bullet opens, boosting both accuracy and reliability. These aren't bullets that fall apart on impact or pencil through your target.
Hornady also incorporated their ballistically efficient secant ogive profile, which means flatter trajectories and better stability in flight—you get the accuracy you need for clean, ethical shots. And if you're loading for a lever-action rifle with a tubular magazine, the Flex Tip is safe to use in those tight confines without detonation risk, making it genuinely versatile across your firearms battery.
Reloaders and hunters who demand consistency, penetration, and the ability to use the same bullet across different platforms will appreciate what Hornady built into the FTX line. These are working bullets for working shooters.
| Caliber | .45 |
| Weight | 200 grains |
| Bullet Type | Flex Tip Expanding |
| Part Number | 45215 |
Yes. The Flex Tip design is specifically safe for tubular magazines, eliminating the detonation risk that comes with traditional pointed bullets stacked in a magazine tube.
The FTX uses a soft polymer tip that compresses into the bullet on impact, initiating expansion reliably across a wide range of velocities. The InterLock ring locks the core to the jacket for superior weight retention, and the heavy jacket controls expansion for deeper penetration than conventional hollow points, especially at higher velocities.
The FTX is designed for hunting and sport shooting applications. The combination of controlled expansion, penetration, and the InterLock design makes it effective for game animals, though your specific use case and firearm will determine suitability.
The secant ogive is a ballistically efficient bullet profile that delivers flatter trajectories and better stability in flight, translating to improved accuracy downrange.
