Who This Is For
This ammunition is ideal for hunters pursuing deer, black bear, feral hogs, or other large game with a lever-action 45-70 Government rifle. It's also an excellent choice for hunters in lead-free zones who refuse to compromise on terminal performance, and for anyone looking to squeeze maximum effective range out of the classic 45-70 cartridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Hornady MonoFlex bullet safe to use in tubular magazines?
Yes. The MonoFlex bullet features Hornady's patented elastomer Flex Tip, which compresses safely under the recoil forces experienced in tubular magazines — eliminating the risk of primer ignition while still delivering the ballistic advantages of a pointed projectile. This makes it a direct upgrade over traditional flat-nose and round-nose 45-70 loads.
What rifles is this 45-70 MonoFlex load compatible with?
This ammunition is designed for any standard 45-70 Government lever-action rifle, including popular platforms like the Marlin 1895, Winchester 1886, and Henry side-gate models. Always verify that your specific firearm is rated for modern higher-pressure 45-70 loads — older or replica Trapdoor Springfield-style rifles may require reduced-pressure ammunition.
How does the MonoFlex bullet perform on big game compared to traditional jacketed soft points?
The MonoFlex is a monolithic copper alloy bullet that retains near 100% of its weight through the target, producing deep, consistent penetration and reliable expansion across a wide range of impact velocities. This makes it especially effective on tough, heavy game like black bear and feral hogs, and it meets lead-free hunting requirements in states or areas where traditional jacketed lead-core bullets are prohibited.
