Hornady LEVERevolution .357 Mag 140gr FTX Ballistics
Nickel-Plated Brass Case • FTX • MPN: 92755
Solved from this product's advertised 1440 fps, 140gr bullet and G1 BC 0.169, with the sight 0.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for .357 Mag.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 4" vital zone, ±2" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 100 yards.

Product Overview
Hornady LEVERevolution 140-grain FTX is a polymer-tipped .357 Magnum load, and Hornady names no single use for it. The FTX carries a soft polymer tip ahead of the cavity, shaped to sit safely in a tube magazine. At 1,440 fps it makes 645 ft-lbs, the most of any expanding load in the caliber under 158 grains.
Zeroed at 25 yards, it is 0.7 inch low at 50, where it still carries 1,281 fps and 510 ft-lbs, more than any other load it is set against. Estimated recoil is the firmest of the group to match.
If you're cross-shopping, Winchester's Silvertip 145-grain JHP is 150 fps slower at 1,290 fps with 109 ft-lbs less at the muzzle. Barnes' VOR-TX 140-grain XPB matches the bullet weight at 1,265 fps, 147 ft-lbs behind, on solid copper.
- 114 ft-lbs more at 50 yards than Hornady's Critical Duty 135-grain FlexLock holds there
- A polymer tip shaped for a tube magazine, which no other .357 Magnum load in the caliber offers
- Hornady lists it under Handgun and gives a revolver figure only, so the 1,440 fps is not a carbine number
- The hardest-recoiling of the caliber's expanding loads under 158 grains, about 33 percent above Hornady's Critical Duty 135-grain FlexLock
- Hornady measures it in a longer vented barrel than Winchester, Remington and Barnes use, so its energy lead is wider than one revolver would show
- A polymer-tipped lead-core bullet, where Barnes' VOR-TX 140-grain XPB is solid copper for lead-free ground
