Hornady LeverEvolution 450 Marlin 325gr FlexTip – 20 Rounds

Hornady's LeverEvolution line brought modern ballistics to lever-action rifles, and this 450 Marlin load is a prime example. The 325-grain FTX (FlexTip) bullet features a soft polymer tip that's safe in tubular magazines while delivering vastly improved ballistic coefficients compared to traditional flat-nose loads. On impact, the tip compresses into the bullet, initiating reliable expansion even at the lower velocities typical of mid-range lever guns. This load is purpose-built for hunters pursuing dangerous game at lever-gun ranges — bear, boar, and elk-sized animals where deep penetration and controlled expansion matter.

Designed specifically for lever-action rifles chambered in 450 Marlin, this cartridge uses Hornady's proprietary low-flash propellant and carefully selected brass and primers to deliver consistent ignition and clean burn. The FTX bullet design allows you to safely load a full magazine tube without the risk of primer detonation from recoil, a serious concern with traditional pointed bullets in these platforms. Available in 20-round boxes, with 10 boxes per case (200 rounds total).
