A: Hi Mark. Thanks for looking to LuckyGunner.com for your ammo needs. I would not shoot any modern pressure round through your trapdoor. I would stay with a low pressure or "cowboy" load. One really great round for these older rifles is the Remington low pressure rounds. https://www.luckygunner.com/45-70-govt-405-grain-soft-point-remington-core-lokt-20-rounds

A: Hi Lisa,
Yes. According to the Hornady Site:
LEVERevolution® represents a breakthrough in ammo design for lever action rifles and revolvers. The key to its innovation and performance is the patented elastomer Flex Tip® technology of the FTX® and MonoFlex® bullets. Safe to use in tubular magazines, these bullets feature higher ballistic coefficients and deliver dramatically flatter trajectory for increased down range performance.
Not recommended for use in handguns or revolvers.
