Hornady's FTX bullet in 50 calibre — .500 diameter, 300 grains — brings Flex Tip technology to handgun cartridges, including the 500 S&W Magnum. Developed originally to modernise lever-gun ballistics, the FTX design solves a persistent problem with conventional hollow point pistol bullets: they tend to expand too rapidly at the elevated velocities produced by lever action rifles, sacrificing the penetration needed on large or heavy-bodied game. The patented Flex Tip compresses into the bullet on impact, triggering immediate, consistent expansion across a wide velocity range — and because the tip is soft, the bullet is safe to load in tubular magazines without risk of primer ignition under recoil. The InterLock ring mechanically bonds the one-piece, high-antimony lead core to the jacket, delivering reliable performance and maximum weight retention for deep penetration. The secant ogive profile and heavy shank jacket together promote flat trajectories, stability and accuracy that standard pistol bullets cannot match. Sold as component bullets for reloading; not loaded ammunition.
