Description

Hornady LEVERevolution 160 grain ammunition changes what a lever gun can do. Instead of the blunt-nosed bullets that dominated the 30-30 for over a century, these rounds feature a patented soft polymer Flex Tip that gives you a pointed, aerodynamic profile. That means flatter bullet flight, less wind drift, and more velocity downrange compared to traditional flat point loads.

Flex Tip Technology You Can Trust in Lever Actions

The real innovation here is that polymer tip is soft enough to deform against the primer of the round in front of it when stacked nose-to-tail in a tubular magazine. This keeps everything safe while delivering the ballistic advantages of a spitzer bullet. You get what amounts to a performance upgrade without swapping out your rifle or changing how you load. The 160 grain FTX design carries a higher ballistic coefficient than standard 30-30 ammunition, so your shots stay on target better at distance.

Power and Performance from Modern Propellants

LEVERevolution uses updated powders that push this load to 2400 fps muzzle velocity, a significant jump over conventional lever gun ammo. That extra velocity translates to around 40 percent more energy than traditional flat point loads. The heavier 160 grain bullet hits hard and retains its weight through the target, so you get consistent, deep penetration. This combination extends the effective range of your 30-30 to approximately 300 yards for hunting, giving older lever guns capabilities they never had from the factory.

Built for Hunters Who Know Their Rifles

These are reloadable brass cases with new production, non-corrosive ammunition that feeds smoothly in lever actions. Field reports consistently note reliable cycling and excellent accuracy, even in older rifles. While this ammunition costs more than basic 30-30 loads, the performance jump makes it worth the investment for anyone serious about getting the most out of their lever gun.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will LEVERevolution ammo work safely in my tubular magazine lever gun?

Yes, the soft polymer Flex Tip is designed to deform against primers without causing accidental discharge, making it safe for tubular magazines. However, Hornady recommends not storing the ammo in the magazine for extended periods to prevent tip deformation. Some older rifles may require a newer magazine follower for smooth functioning of the final round.

How much farther can I shoot with LEVERevolution compared to standard 30-30 ammo?

The flatter trajectory and improved ballistics extend the effective hunting range to around 300 yards, versus roughly 150-200 yards with traditional flat point loads. The 160 grain FTX carries significantly more energy downrange, making it viable for whitetail and medium game at distances where standard 30-30 ammo loses effectiveness.

Is the 160 grain or 140 grain LEVERevolution better for hunting?

The 160 grain FTX is the heavier option with higher muzzle energy (2046 ft-lbs) and delivers around 1027 foot-pounds of energy at 300 yards. The lighter 140 grain MonoFlex load shoots faster but carries less energy. For deer and medium game, the 160 grain offers more hitting power and better long-range performance.

Can I reload LEVERevolution brass cases?

Yes, the ammunition comes with boxer-primed brass cases that are reloadable. This makes LEVERevolution more economical over time if you reload your own ammunition.
