Hornady .338 Cal 200gr FTX Bullets - 100 Count

Hornady .338 Cal 200gr FTX bullets are engineered for lever-action rifles and other firearms where tubular magazine safety is essential without sacrificing the stopping power you need for medium to large game. The FTX design combines Hornady's patented Flex Tip technology with a heavy-duty jacket and InterLock ring to deliver controlled expansion and deep penetration across a wide velocity range—making these 200-grain bullets a smart choice for hunters who refuse to compromise on performance or magazine compatibility.

Built with a soft polymer tip that compresses on impact to initiate consistent expansion, the FTX formula works reliably whether you're shooting at modest or higher velocities. The InterLock ring mechanically locks the lead core to the jacket, maintaining bullet integrity and weight retention even through heavy bone and muscle. This means deeper penetration on tougher game rather than premature expansion that wastes energy.

Hornady's secant ogive profile isn't just for show—it's a ballistic design choice that improves stability and flat trajectory, giving you better accuracy downrange. The specially engineered jacket resists deformation, controls expansion predictably, and pairs with the InterLock to keep things tight during the shot. Whether you're loading for hunting season or the range, 100 rounds per box give you plenty to work with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these FTX bullets safe to load in tubular magazines?

Yes. Unlike traditional hollow point bullets, the Flex Tip design is specifically engineered to be safe in tubular magazine applications without risk of primer contact or detonation.

What is the InterLock ring and why does it matter?

The InterLock ring mechanically bonds the lead core to the jacket, preventing separation on impact. This design preserves bullet weight and ensures deep penetration, especially important when hunting larger or thicker-bodied game.

What velocities do these bullets work best at?

The Flex Tip initiates expansion across a wide velocity range, so these 200gr .338 bullets perform reliably whether you're shooting at modest or higher velocities typical of lever-action and other centerfire rifles.

Will these FTX bullets improve my accuracy?

The secant ogive profile is designed to enhance stability and consistency in flight. Combined with the heavy jacket and InterLock design, these bullets support repeatable accuracy from shot to shot.
