Description
45-70 Government 250 grain ammo from Hornady LEVERevolution gives lever-action rifle shooters a MonoFlex hunting load in a 200-round case. Each 82741 round uses a 250-grain MonoFlex bullet with Boxer-primed brass casing and Hornady’s Flex Tip design.
Hornady lists this load at 2,025 fps with 2,276 ft-lbs of muzzle energy from a 24-inch test barrel. The MonoFlex bullet combines monolithic construction with a flexible polymer tip, giving buyers a pointed-bullet profile designed for safe use in tubular magazines. You can review the official Hornady 45-70 Government 250 gr MonoFlex LEVERevolution specs for manufacturer ballistic data.
Each case includes 10 boxes of 20 rounds, making it useful for sight-in, range confirmation, and stocking one consistent .45-70 load before hunting season. Hornady also notes that LEVERevolution FTX and MonoFlex bullets may require a newer magazine follower in some firearms and are not recommended for use in handguns.
Compared with traditional flat-point .45-70 loads, this Hornady 82741 option is built for lever-action rifles where a flexible-tip bullet can improve downrange performance while remaining tube-magazine friendly.
