Hrndy Lvrevo 45-70 325gr 20/200

Hornady LEVERevolution 45-70 Government ammunition delivers proven performance for lever-action rifles where tubular magazine safety and flat-shooting capability are non-negotiable. Each 325-grain FTX round exits the muzzle at 2,050 feet per second, combining the stopping power of a full-power rifle cartridge with the trajectory advantage of modern bullet design—a decisive combination for hunters and shooters working at extended ranges with traditional lever actions.

The core innovation is Hornady's patented Flex Tip elastomer technology integrated into the FTX bullet design. Unlike conventional soft-point ammunition, the Flex Tip remains safely inert inside tubular magazines—eliminating the risk of primer detonation from recoil impact that can plague standard spitzer rounds in lever-gun magazines. This design also delivers significantly higher ballistic coefficients than traditional round-nose or flat-point bullets, reducing wind drift and maintaining velocity downrange without sacrificing the velocity stability your shooting demands.

Operators and hunters running modern lever rifles—Marlin 1895SBL, Henry Big Boy, Winchester 1886, and similar platforms—recognize the 45-70 Government as the standard for North American big game and long-range precision rifle work. The 325-grain weight balances recoil management with deep penetration, making it effective for elk, moose, and other large game where reliable expansion and energy retention matter. This ammunition supports the flatter trajectory you need at 200+ yards while maintaining the robust ballistics lever-gun shooters have relied on for over a century.

Available in 20-round boxes, this ammunition ships in factory packaging from TacticalSurplusUSA and meets modern manufacturing standards for consistency and reliability.
