Hornady LEVERevolution Ammo Question
« on: October 28, 2006, 08:34:04 AM »
I admit to being a little behind the times when it comes to something new for Lever Guns.  I was in a gunshop today and I heard a conversation about this Ammo put out by Hornady.  Before I knew it, I was in the middle of the conversation.

It seems that everyone who has tried this ammo in a Lever Action Rifle has nothing but praise for the way this ammo performs.  Even the gunshop owner says he has a hard time keeping it in stock since word got out as to it flies.  The gunshop owner also has praise for this stuff, he tried it himself.  I ended up walking out with a box of .35 Rem Pointed ammo for a tubular magazine.

I figured I would find out here what devotees of Lever Action rifles think of Hornady LEVERevolution ammo next.

What's up with this stuff?

It shoots to under 1" for three shots at 100 yards in my scoped, 30-30 Marlin.  It doesn't group as well or give as much velocity in my .444 Marlin as the Hornady Light Magnum 265 gr. FN ammo.  I have not tried it in my 35 Rem. Marlin.  I have not used it on game but I am convinced that it has upped the potential of leverguns (in most cases) over the FN ammo that has served us quite well for generations.
