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.
