The LEVERevolution® line of ammunition from Hornady® continues to revolutionize the shooting industry. The NEW 44 Magnum LEVERevolution® ammunition was recently awarded an Editor's Choice Award for Handgun Ammo of the Year in the August issue of Outdoor Life magazine.

Chris Christian, award winning competitive pistol shooter, former Navy small arms instructor and Outdoor Life Editor, wrote, "Hornady's new 225-grain LEVERevolution® load (1,410 fps from a 6-inch barrel) will increase the range of any 44 Magnum handgun, carbine or single-shot with its polymer tip and increased ballistic coefficient."

The 44 Mag, loaded with the 225 gr. FTX™ bullet, represents the first time advanced LEVERevolution® Flex Tip™ technology has been used in a true dual-purpose (handgun/lever gun) application. Typical hollow point pistol bullets expand too quickly and sacrifice penetration at the higher velocities achieved with lever action rifles. But Flex Tip™ eXpanding™ bullets expand reliably, transferring significant immediate energy with devastating temporary cavities over an incredibly wide range of velocities.

"We are very proud of the 44 Magnum," said Dave Emary, Hornady Senior Ballistician. "The versatility this cartridge offers is an incredible asset to hunters and shooting enthusiasts, and we are pleased that a publication as respected as Outdoor Life has selected it as Handgun Ammo of the Year."
