LeverEvolution Ammo
« on: January 02, 2006, 03:20:24 PM »
Has anyone seen or tried Hornady's new LeverEvolution pointed polymer tipped ammo for lever guns?  It looks intriguing and just might justify my putting a scope on my .450 and carrying all season instead of early and during drives as I do now.

It may not yet be available, but I'm curious to hear from the you guys and not just the writers.  Thanks!

They started with .30-30 and .35Rem...  The .450 and 45/70 is supposed to come out later this year.

The .30-30 and .35 Rem has been available since early November, although they did run out, it's back in stock now!!

Perhaps i'm mistaken 'er what?  I thought that we'd be able to buy components (leverevolution bullets) also but the more I read on their site it's not looking like anything but Hornady cartridges?  Am I imagining things?

If the latter is true, wonder how long before some other company brings out like products in component sale?

Just some worries I'd share

bill :(

This new ammo to me is the bigest boost that can happen to lever action rifles in a hundred years!  I just checked out the Marlin web sight and drooled over the new 336XLR with 24 inch barrel.  I also went to Hornady's web sight and reviewed the specs on their 30-30 and .35 Rem.  Cool movie too.  The 24 inch barrel sure helps a bit BUT the modern pointed bullet...man why did this take so long?  It cranks our beloved lever action to a 200 yard gun easy.  Hornady just hit the jackpot! :-D
