Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Hornady MonoFlex legal for hunting in California?
Yes. Because the MonoFlex bullet is constructed from a monolithic copper alloy with no lead core, it complies with California's Lead-Free Ammunition regulation for hunting on all lands in the state. This makes it an excellent choice for California hunters using AK-style or other 7.62x39 chambered rifles.
Will this ammunition feed reliably in my AK-47 or SKS?
Hornady engineers the MonoFlex load to fit, feed, and function across the most common 7.62x39 platforms, including AK-47, AKM, and SKS variants. The cartridge dimensions meet SAAMI specifications, and the polymer Flex Tip prevents tip deformation during feeding from box and drum magazines alike.
How does the MonoFlex bullet perform on game compared to a traditional soft point?
The MonoFlex bullet is designed to expand reliably at a broad range of velocities while retaining approximately 95% of its original weight — outperforming many traditional lead-core soft points in terms of penetration depth and structural integrity. The result is a larger wound channel, consistent expansion, and reduced risk of fragmentation, making it a highly effective choice for deer-sized game.
