Hrndy Leverevolution .308 Marlin Express 160gr Ammunition - 20 Rounds

Hornady LEVERevolution .308 Marlin Express ammunition is engineered specifically for lever-action rifles that demand both safety and serious performance. Built around the patented Flex Tip technology of Hornady's FTX bullet design, this 160-grain load delivers the flat trajectory and terminal energy of modern rifle rounds while remaining completely safe for tubular magazines—a combination that's reshaped what lever-gun shooters expect from their ammunition.

The FTX Flex Tip design is the innovation that makes this possible. That elastomer tip compresses on impact rather than deforming unpredictably, which means you get reliable feeding in tubular magazines without sacrificing the ballistic coefficient you'd normally lose with traditional flat-point bullets. The result is velocity gains of up to 250 fps over conventional lever-action loads, paired with flatter trajectory downrange and measurably more kinetic energy at distance.

LEVERevolution pairs advanced bullet design with modern propellant chemistry. The powder selection maximizes velocity at standard pressures, so you're not trading safety for performance. You get exceptional accuracy and superior downrange terminal performance whether you're hunting medium game in the 50- to 300-pound range or larger game up to 1,500 pounds. Weight retention is significantly higher than traditional flat-point ammunition, delivering up to 40% more energy where it counts.

Each box contains 20 rounds of factory-loaded, quality-controlled ammunition. Note that some lever-action rifles may benefit from a newer magazine follower to optimize feeding of the final round; if you're running an older rifle or have questions about compatibility with your specific gun, we're happy to help you sort it out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LEVERevolution .308 Marlin Express safe to use in my lever-action rifle's tubular magazine?

Yes. The Flex Tip design is specifically engineered for safe use in tubular magazines. The elastomer tip compresses on impact without creating the feeding or detonation risks associated with pointed bullets in tube-fed rifles.

Will this ammunition work in my older .308 Marlin Express lever rifle?

LEVERevolution is designed for .308 Marlin Express rifles. Some older rifles may feed more reliably with an updated magazine follower, though many will function without modification. If you have concerns about feeding in your specific gun, we recommend testing a small quantity or contacting us for guidance.

What size game is this ammunition suitable for?

LEVERevolution .308 Marlin Express is appropriate for medium game in the 50- to 300-pound range (like deer and elk) and large game up to 1,500 pounds, depending on shot placement and distance.

How does LEVERevolution compare to standard .308 Marlin Express loads?

LEVERevolution delivers up to 250 fps more velocity than traditional flat-point .308 Marlin Express ammunition, producing a flatter trajectory and up to 40% more downrange energy while maintaining the safety profile of the Flex Tip design for tubular magazine use.
