Hornady LEVERevolution 45-70 Government ammunition delivers proven performance for lever-action rifles and revolvers chambered in this classic cartridge. Built on the foundation of Hornady's patented FTX Flex Tip technology, this 250-grain Mono-Flex bullet design enables safe use in tubular magazines while maintaining superior ballistic efficiency and downrange accuracy compared to traditional ammunition.
The 250-grain projectile launches at 2,025 feet per second, generating substantial energy retention at extended range. This velocity paired with the higher ballistic coefficient of the Mono-Flex bullet design produces noticeably flatter trajectory than conventional lead-tip rounds. The elastomer Flex Tip prevents bullet deformation against the magazine's feed lips during cycling—a critical consideration for lever-action shooters who demand reliability without sacrificing performance. Each box contains 20 rounds, packaged within standard ammunition specifications for consistent handling and storage.
This load suits hunters and precision shooters working lever-action platforms where traditional pointed ammunition is unsafe or impractical. The 45-70 Government cartridge remains a standard for hunting medium to large game and for competitors in cowboy action shooting disciplines. Operators familiar with the 45-70's recoil characteristics will appreciate ammunition engineered to maximize velocity without requiring magnum loads, while the proven Hornady manufacturing process ensures shot-to-shot consistency across the case lot.
LEVERevolution ammunition represents a significant advancement in lever-action ballistics, combining safe magazine use with terminal performance expectations modern shooters demand. Whether for hunting applications, long-range accuracy training, or competitive lever-action events, this 45-70 load merges Hornady's heritage in ammunition development with contemporary bullet technology.
