Hornady LEVERevolution .30-30 Winchester 140 Grain MonoFlex California Certified Lead-Free Ammunition (MPN: 82731)
Product Description
Lever-action rifle hunters operating in California or strictly regulated non-lead hunting zones frequently face a difficult performance dilemma when seeking legal, high-performance .30-30 Winchester ammunition. Traditional hard lead-free alloy or solid metal flat-nose bullets often suffer from low ballistic coefficients, rapid velocity loss downrange, and harsh feeding dynamics inside tubular magazines. Standard pointed spitzer bullets present severe safety hazards when stacked tip-to-primer in lever-gun tubes. Hornady resolves this legal and ballistic challenge with their LEVERevolution .30-30 Winchester 140-grain MonoFlex load, delivering safe, ultra-flat spitzer performance in a 100% California-certified lead-free cartridge.
Proudly engineered in Grand Island, Nebraska, this revolutionary centerfire cartridge features Hornady's patented MonoFlex projectile—a high-tech fusion of solid copper alloy construction and elastomeric Flex Tip technology. The soft, compressible red FTX polymer tip allows safe inline stacking inside tubular magazines while resisting deformation. Upon impact, the elastomeric tip forces hydraulic pressure deep into the solid gilding metal core, initiating immediate, controlled expansion across a wide range of velocities. Constructed from an advanced copper alloy, the monolithic MonoFlex bullet retains 95%+ of its original weight without fragmenting, driving deep through tough hide, dense muscle, and heavy shoulder bone on game.
Out in heavy timber or across open brush, this lead-free lever-gun load delivers flat trajectories and extended effective ranges compared to traditional flat-nose soft points. Fired from standard 20-inch lever-action barrels, it exits the muzzle at an impressive 2,465 FPS with 1,889 ft-lbs of kinetic energy, generating flat downrange flight paths and dramatically reducing bullet drop at 200 yards. Premium brass casings, clean-burning propellants, and responsive Boxer primers ensure smooth mechanical cycling through side-loading gates and tubular magazine ramps. Packaged in a 20-round box, Hornady LEVERevolution MonoFlex stands out as an elite choice for ethical, non-lead whitetail deer, feral hog, and pronghorn hunting.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Technical Maintenance Guidance: Centerfire rifle ammunition procurement regulations strictly apply. All purchasers must be 21 years of age or older and assume full legal responsibility for adhering to local, state, and federal laws. Due to commercial carrier transit restrictions, ammunition cannot be delivered to Alaska, Hawaii, or US territories. Deliveries destined for California and New York must ship directly to an authorized FFL dealer or registered ammunition vendor. Residents of Illinois must supply a valid FOID card alongside a matching state ID prior to order processing, and localized regional bans prohibit delivery to specific jurisdictions inside Illinois (including Chicago), Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Washington D.C. Armorer Tip: Hornady LEVERevolution MonoFlex uses flexible polymer elastomeric tips designed to be completely safe in tubular magazines. This ammunition is fully certified by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) as non-lead ammunition for state-regulated hunting zones.
