Hornady 284 Cal 7mm 120gr FTX

The Hornady 284 Cal 7mm 120gr FTX is a precision hunting bullet component crafted for handloaders seeking flat-trajectory performance, reliable expansion, and tight accuracy in .284-caliber rifles. Weighing 120 gr with a .284-inch diameter, the 284 Cal 7mm 120gr FTX features Hornady’s Flex Tip® technology—a polymer-tipped spire-point design paired with a boat-tail base—offering consistent terminal performance and high ballistic coefficient in cartridges such as 7mm Remington Magnum and .280 Remington.

This 284 Cal 7mm 120gr FTX combines a secured lead core with Hornady’s InterLock® ring to maintain structural integrity upon impact. With the tip initiating controlled expansion and the full metal jacket preserving shape, the 284 Cal 7mm 120gr FTX delivers deep penetration and ethical terminal results on medium to large game out to 300 yards, without core-jacket separation.

The aerodynamic design and polished ogive of the 284 Cal 7mm 120gr FTX provide excellent downrange performance and minimized wind drift when loaded to velocities between 2,900 and 3,100 fps. Its boat-tail contour and consistent bearing surface support reliable feeding and precise alignment, resulting in repeatable accuracy and tight groupings at extended ranges.

Stabilizing efficiently in barrels with common 1:9 to 1:10 twist rates, the 284 Cal 7mm 120gr FTX feeds smoothly in bolt-action, lever-action, and magazine rifles. Reloaders appreciate its clean cycling, minimal barrel fouling, and consistent seating depth across powders. The bullet’s design allows fine-tuning of velocity and trajectory without sacrificing terminal reliability.

Manufactured at Hornady’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility, the Hornady 284 Cal 7mm 120gr FTX is sold as a bullet component and must be loaded with compatible brass, powder, and primers. With meticulous quality control over tip alignment, jacket concentricity, and bullet weight, the 284 Cal 7mm 120gr FTX stands as a top-tier choice for hunters who demand precision, flat shooting, and ethical performance in .284-caliber rifle applications.
