Hornady .45-70 Government LEVERevolution MonoFlex Ammo FAQ:
The MonoFlex bullet is a monolithic copper alloy design with a polymer Flex Tip. This construction ensures weight retention, controlled expansion, and deep penetration, while the Flex Tip improves ballistic coefficient and allows for safe use in tubular magazines.
The effective range varies depending on the shooter's skill and the rifle used, but it can be effective out to 300 yards or more. The high ballistic coefficient and muzzle velocity contribute to flatter trajectories and extended range compared to traditional .45-70 loads.
The exact expansion diameter can vary depending on impact velocity and target medium. However, the MonoFlex bullet is designed to expand reliably, typically achieving 1.5 to 2 times its original diameter upon impact with proper terminal velocity.
The LEVERevolution MonoFlex ammunition typically offers superior accuracy compared to traditional .45-70 loads. The streamlined bullet profile, consistent powder charge, and tight manufacturing tolerances contribute to excellent accuracy potential, especially at longer ranges.
This ammunition is designed to stabilize in common .45-70 twist rates, typically 1:20. However, it may perform well in a range of twist rates from 1:18 to 1:22, depending on the specific rifle and shooting conditions.
This ammunition is specifically designed for safe use in lever-action rifles with tubular magazines. The Flex Tip technology eliminates the risk of primer detonation under recoil, a concern with traditional pointed bullets in tubular magazines.
A common sight-in distance for this ammunition is 200 yards, which typically results in a maximum point-blank range extending beyond 200 yards. However, the optimal sight-in distance can vary based on your specific hunting scenarios and personal preferences.
While powerful, this ammunition is not typically recommended for home defense due to its high penetration potential and risk of overpenetration. It's primarily designed and optimized for hunting applications.
The MonoFlex bullet's tough copper alloy construction helps it resist deformation when passing through barriers like brush or light branches. This characteristic helps maintain accuracy and terminal performance even in less-than-ideal shooting conditions.
While no specific break-in is required for the ammunition itself, following your rifle manufacturer's recommended break-in process is advisable. This usually involves cleaning the barrel after each of the first few shots, then after every 3-5 shots for the first 15-20 rounds.
