Introduced in 2006, the Hornady LEVERevolution 45-70 GOVT 325gr. FTX (Flex Tip Expanding) ammunition completely revitalized classic lever-action rifles, transforming traditional firearms into modern favorites for all types of shooters. The key to this performance is a patented soft polymer flex tip (FTX). This design provides the rugged durability and sleek aerodynamics of a jacketed bullet yet remains soft enough to prevent primer denting or accidental chain-fire detonations inside tubular magazines. Engineered for maximum performance, 45-70 GOVT LEVERevolution cartridges deliver up to 40% more downrange energy and up to 250 FPS higher velocities than traditional flat-point designs. Each box contains newly manufactured, non-corrosive rounds built with smokeless powder and reloadable, boxer-primed brass cases.
