Description
Hornady’s LEVERevolution load in 338 Marlin Express was built specifically for the lever-action platform, addressing one of the longstanding limitations of tubular-magazine rifles: pointed bullets. Traditional spitzer projectiles create a safety hazard in a tube magazine because the tip of one round rests against the primer of the round ahead of it. Hornady’s FTX bullet solves this with a flexible elastomer tip that compresses on impact rather than on feeding, allowing a streamlined ogive profile to fit safely in a tube magazine while still initiating reliable, consistent expansion on game.
That pointed profile matters ballistically. Compared to the flat-nosed and round-nosed bullets that tube magazines have traditionally demanded, the FTX retains velocity more efficiently downrange, which translates to a flatter trajectory and more retained energy at distance. For a lever-action hunter working timber or brushy country where shots can vary unpredictably in range, that consistency reduces the need to hold over and simplifies shot execution under pressure.
At 200 grains, this load pairs a substantial bullet weight with the 338 Marlin Express case in a way that suits medium to large North American game. The brass-cased construction is reloadable for those who want to recycle once-fired brass. Each box contains 20 rounds.
