Description

Hornady LeveRevolution FTX in .45‑70 Government, 325 grains, is engineered specifically for lever‑action rifles and other firearms that use tubular magazines. The patented FTX (Flex Tip) polymer tip protects the hollow‑point cavity when cartridges are stacked nose‑to‑primer in a tube magazine, yet reliably initiates expansion at the higher velocities produced by modern rifles and carbines. The 325‑grain jacketed hollow point provides controlled expansion, strong weight retention and deep penetration — making it a premium choice for hunting deer-sized to larger North American game and for hunters who want modern terminal performance from traditional platforms. Loaded with Hornady’s quality components and manufacturing standards, LeveRevolution FTX balances accuracy, dependable feeding and meaningful on‑target results.

• Optimized for lever‑action feeding — designed to feed and function reliably from tube‑fed rifles.

• Heavy 325‑gr bullet — excellent momentum and energy transfer for medium to large game.

Why choose this round

The Flex Tip allows safe tubular loading while ensuring the hollow point opens reliably at rifle velocities — delivering deep, controlled penetration and strong weight retention ideal for hunting medium‑to‑large game from lever‑action rifles or modern single‑shot carbines.
