HRNDY LVREVO 25-35WIN 110GR 20/200

Description

Hornady’s LEVERevolution line was built around a specific problem: traditional lever-action ammunition uses flat or round-nosed bullets to prevent cartridge-to-column detonation in a tubular magazine, and that shape carries a severe ballistic penalty. The 110-grain FTX bullet solves this with a flexible elastomer tip that compresses safely under the pressure of recoil in the magazine stack, then functions exactly like a pointed spitzer downrange — producing a higher ballistic coefficient than a comparable blunt-nose design and a noticeably flatter trajectory at hunting distances.

For the .25-35 Winchester specifically, that matters because the cartridge’s modest case capacity means velocity is already limited; shedding speed more slowly after the muzzle recovers some of what the chambering concedes. At 2,425 fps muzzle velocity, the 110-grain load leaves the barrel moving briskly for the cartridge, and the FTX profile helps it retain that energy further out than a conventional lever-action bullet would. Muzzle energy runs around 1,436 ft-lbs, a meaningful figure for deer-sized game at the ranges where a .25-35 is realistically employed.

Terminal performance depends on expansion, and the FTX tip initiates that reliably at the lower impact velocities you see at distance — a practical advantage over older hollow-point or soft-point designs that may not expand consistently when velocity has bled off. Brass casings are reloadable for handloaders who want to wring further use from the brass. This is loaded ammunition purpose-built for shooters running lever-action rifles in .25-35 Winchester who want a meaningful performance upgrade over period-correct flat-point loads without changing platforms.
