A normal 45-70 bullet has a flat nose or a hollow point, as either prevents the tip of the bullet from igniting another round’s primer inside the magazine. They aren’t aerodynamic profiles, but they get the job done.
The FTX is no normal 45-70 bullet, though. It features a soft polymer tip, which makes its frontal profile considerably more streamlined without risking magazine ignition. So aerodynamic a bullet follows a flatter trajectory and strikes with more force relative to its weight. Here’s what the 0.230 G1 BC bullet can do out of a 24” barrel!
0yds: 2,000 fps | 2,887 ft lbs | -1.5”
50yds: 1,837 fps | 2,437 ft lbs | 1.8”
100yds: 1,685 fps | 2,048 ft lbs | 2.4”
150yds: 1,543 fps | 1,717 ft lbs | 0.0”
200yds: 1,412 fps | 1,439 ft lbs | -6.0”
250yds: 1,296 fps | 1,212 ft lbs | -16.5”
300yds: 1,196 fps | 1,033 ft lbs | -32.1”
The FTX doesn’t just cruise through the air. It also kills the quarry through the binary powers of high weight retention and terminal expansion. The FTX’s InterLock ring prevents its high-antimony lead core and copper jacket from separating excessively after impact. And while the FTX is conserving the momentum it needs to stab deep, its tip compresses inward to push broader and more energetic terminal expansion. It’s a good system!
