A 357 Magnum lever gun is a handy deer and woods rifle, and Hornady designed LEVERevolution to make the most of it. This listing is Hornady LEVERevolution 357 Magnum 140 grain FTX ammo, MPN 92755, sold as 250 rounds. It suits owners of 357 lever actions and revolvers who want an expanding bullet for deer at short range, hogs, and general woods carry. It also gives revolver owners a modern expanding option for camp and trail carry.
Hornady rates 92755 at 1,440 fps with 644 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Expect more velocity from a rifle-length barrel than from a revolver. The FTX bullet uses a soft polymer tip that is safe in tubular magazines and helps start reliable expansion. The 140 grain weight strikes a balance between speed and penetration. It is a hunting and defensive load, not inexpensive practice ammo.
It fits firearms chambered in 357 Magnum, including the Henry Big Boy and Side Gate, Marlin 1894C and 1894 Classic, Rossi R92, Winchester 1892 reproductions, Ruger 77/357, and revolvers such as the Ruger GP100 and Blackhawk, Smith and Wesson 686, and Colt Python. A common question is whether 357 Magnum is enough for deer from a lever gun. Many hunters take whitetail with it at close range, often inside 100 yards, with good shot placement. Check your state rules, since some require minimum cartridge sizes. Another common question is whether this load is safe in a 38 Special. No. Use it only in 357 Magnum chambers.
Hornady 92755 is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA by Hornady in Grand Island, Nebraska. Cases are reloadable brass with boxer primers, and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 10 boxes of 25 rounds for 250 total, all from one lot, so you can zero a lever gun and carry the same ammunition in your revolver.
