Deep Dive

Overview

The Hornady LeveRevolution 45-70 Government Ammunition, featuring the FTX bullet, is specifically tailored for hunting applications where every shot must count. The 325 Grain FTX bullet is engineered to achieve maximum ballistic efficiency by utilizing Hornady's innovative Flex Tip technology. This ensures that the bullet can expand consistently across a variety of ranges, making this ammunition suitable for taking down medium-sized game.

The introduction of the 45-70 Government in the LeveRevolution line broadened the capabilities of this venerable round, providing hunters with a modern solution for an age-old rifle style.
