Description
The Hornady LEVERevolution .45-70 Government 325 Grain FTX® Ammo 82747 is engineered for hunters who demand superior performance from their lever-action rifles. Unlike traditional flat-nose bullets, the Flex Tip® eXpanding (FTX®) bullet incorporates a polymer tip, enhancing aerodynamics for higher velocity, extended range, and improved accuracy. This results in a flatter trajectory and increased downrange energy, making it ideal for big game such as elk, moose, and bear.With a muzzle velocity of 2,050 fps and muzzle energy of 3,032 ft-lbs, this ammunition offers hard-hitting performance, controlled expansion, and deep penetration to ensure ethical and effective harvests at extended ranges. The Flex Tip® design also enhances safety in tubular magazines, allowing for smooth and reliable feeding in lever-action rifles.Hornady’s high-quality brass casings, non-corrosive primers, and precision-formulated propellants ensure consistent ignition and flawless cycling. Available in 20-round boxes or bulk cases of 200 rounds (10 boxes), this ammunition is proudly made in the USA, trusted by serious hunters and shooters.
