Hornady 50102 FTX hunting ammo brings lever-action firepower into the modern era with a 300 grain .50 caliber Flex Tip eXpanding bullet purpose-built for tubular magazine rifles. If you're running a lever gun and want the ballistic performance of a tipped bullet without the safety headaches of traditional hollow points jamming in your magazine, FTX ammunition delivers exactly that—reliable expansion across a wide velocity range, from muzzle blast to mid-range yardage, with the penetration lever gun hunters demand on heavy game.
The FTX design solves a real problem: standard hollow-point rifle bullets expand too aggressively at the velocities lever actions produce, compromising penetration on elk, bear, and other large-bodied game. Hornady's soft Flex Tip compresses into the bullet body on impact, initiating controlled expansion while the InterLock ring—a mechanical lock binding the lead core to the jacket—keeps the bullet together for deep, reliable penetration and consistent weight retention. The result is hunting ammo that performs across variable distances and conditions without the guesswork.
Built on Hornady's ballistically efficient secant ogive profile, these bullets shoot flat and stay accurate. The heavy jacket design over the shank works with the InterLock system to control how the bullet opens, tightening groupings and giving you repeatable performance shot to shot. Whether you're hunting from 100 yards or stretching to longer distances, FTX ammo lets your lever gun punch above its traditional weight class while staying safe in any tubular magazine setup.

Yes. FTX bullets are specifically designed to be safe in tubular magazines. The soft Flex Tip eliminates the risk of primer detonation from the bullet nose contacting the primer of the cartridge ahead of it, a hazard with traditional hollow-point designs in lever-action rifles.
FTX bullets address the over-expansion problem common to hollow-point bullets at lever-action velocities. The Flex Tip compresses into the bullet body upon impact, initiating controlled expansion while the InterLock ring keeps the core mechanically locked to the jacket, preserving bullet weight and penetration even at higher velocities.
These bullets are engineered for large and heavy-bodied game. The combination of weight, controlled expansion, and weight retention makes them suitable for elk, bear, and similar big game at hunting distances typical for lever-action rifles.
The secant ogive profile delivers ballistic efficiency that promotes stability in flight and flat trajectories. The heavy jacket and InterLock design also control how the bullet performs, supporting tighter groupings and more consistent accuracy than conventional hollow-point hunting bullets.
