The Hornady LEVERevolution 30-30 Winchester 140-grain MonoFlex ammunition transforms lever-action rifle performance with pointed bullet technology previously impossible in tubular magazines. This innovative cartridge delivers significantly flatter trajectories and increased downrange energy compared to traditional flat-nose bullets. MonoFlex construction provides reliable expansion across a wide velocity range while maintaining structural integrity.
What Makes This Different
The patented Flex Tip technology allows pointed bullets in lever-action rifles without safety concerns in tubular magazines. Upon impact, the flexible tip compresses into the bullet cavity, initiating controlled expansion. This design achieves 40% flatter trajectory than conventional 30-30 loads while delivering 40% more energy at 200 yards. The copper-alloy MonoFlex bullet retains 95% of its weight for deep penetration.
Key Features
- MonoFlex copper-alloy bullet with Flex Tip technology for safe tubular magazine use
- 140-grain bullet weight optimized for medium to large game hunting
- Flatter trajectory extends effective range beyond traditional 30-30 limitations
- Lead-free construction meets hunting regulations in restricted areas
- Controlled expansion across velocity ranges from 1,600 to 2,400 fps
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable feeding
- Temperature-stable propellant maintains velocity consistency
Field performance shows this ammunition excels in whitetail deer hunting scenarios where shots may extend beyond 150 yards. The improved ballistics coefficient reduces wind drift and bullet drop, making precise shot placement more achievable. Hunters report clean, ethical harvests with excellent weight retention creating reliable blood trails. The copper construction eliminates lead fragmentation concerns while maintaining terminal performance standards.
