The Hornady LEVERevolution 35 Remington 200 Grain FTX ammo brings modern ballistics to a classic cartridge. If you're hunting medium to large game with a lever-action rifle, this ammunition solves the long-standing tradeoff between tube-magazine safety and downrange performance. The FTX bullet—Hornady's Flex Tip design—lets you load pointed bullets in a tubular magazine without the risk of primer strikes during recoil, something traditional hunting rounds simply don't allow.

What makes LEVERevolution stand out is the engineering behind that Flex Tip. The polymer tip sits in a cavity that absorbs impact energy, keeping the round stable in the magazine while preserving the ballistic advantages of a streamlined profile. Compared to conventional flat-point lever-action loads, LEVERevolution delivers significantly flatter trajectory and measurably more energy on target—up to 40% more energy retention at distance. That translates to better performance on deer, elk, and other medium to large game at ranges where a traditional 35 Rem would start to fade.

Hornady built these rounds using modern propellants that maximize velocity within standard pressure limits, giving you the flatter shooting and retained energy without pushing the brass harder. You get 20 rounds per box, loaded to consistent specs for reliable feeding and accuracy.

One practical note: these innovative bullets work best when your lever gun's magazine is equipped with a newer-style follower; older designs may need an upgrade for reliable feeding of the last round. It's worth checking your rifle's setup before your first box hits the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LEVERevolution safe to use in my lever-action rifle's tube magazine?

Yes. The FTX Flex Tip bullet is specifically designed for safe magazine storage in lever-action rifles. The polymer tip compresses on impact without deforming during recoil, eliminating the risk of primer strikes that can occur with pointed ammunition in tube magazines.

How does LEVERevolution compare to standard 35 Remington hunting loads?

LEVERevolution delivers up to 40% more energy retention at distance and a flatter trajectory than traditional flat-point 35 Rem ammunition. The modern propellant and FTX bullet design work together to maintain velocity and energy beyond the ranges where conventional loads start to drop off.

Do I need to modify my rifle to use this ammunition?

LEVERevolution should work in most lever-action rifles; however, the innovative FTX bullet design performs best with a newer magazine follower. Older magazine followers may require an upgrade for reliable feeding of the final round. It's worth checking your rifle's setup before loading your first box.

What game is this ammunition suitable for?

Hornady designed LEVERevolution for both medium game (50–300 lbs) such as deer and medium-size predators, and large game (300–1500 lbs) such as elk and moose, depending on range and shot placement.
