Hornady LEVERevolution .308 Marlin Express 160gr FTX Ammo

Description

The .308 Marlin Express has quietly become the most interesting thing to happen to lever-action hunting in years, and this Hornady load is the ammunition that made it possible. Unlike traditional lever guns stuck with flat-nosed bullets, the FTX Flex Tip design gives you a pointed bullet that's engineered to compress safely in your magazine while delivering devastating expansion on game.

What makes LEVERevolution different starts with the patented elastomer tip. The soft, flexible polymer compresses safely against follower and carrier as you load, eliminating chain-fire risk that kept lever guns locked into low-ballistic-coefficient designs. But here's the payoff: when that bullet hits, the tip initiates expansion across a wide velocity range, paired with Hornady's InterLock ring design that locks core to jacket for deep penetration and up to 40 percent more energy retention than conventional flat-point bullets.

Performance that closes the gap on .308 Winchester

You're getting 2660 fps muzzle velocity with 2513 foot-pounds of energy from a 160-grain projectile. That translates to a flatter trajectory and extended range compared to your grandfather's .30-30. The .308 Marlin Express was designed to give lever-action hunters .308 Winchester-class ballistic performance in a platform built for quick follow-up shots and brush hunting.

Built for serious medium-game hunting

These 20-round boxes are loaded with brass cases you can reload, and they're specifically engineered for deer, hog, and black bear at practical hunting distances. The combination of speed, accuracy, and terminal performance makes them ideal for hunters who love the classic lever-action but need modern firepower. Each shot delivers the precision and power lever guns finally deserve.
