New Lever Revolution Ammo

[DannyD]

Hey Guys,
Thought I'd share some results I had with the new Hornady Leverevolution ammo out of my Marlin 30-30

My favorite gun I own is the Marlin in 30-30 but it was never as accurate as my 243 or my 270

I only shoot factory loads for now and have kept fairly good records trying to find which brand shoots best for me. Previously the Remington Corelokt was the most accurate at an average of 2.75" groups over the last 4 groups. This was compared to Winchester and Federal all in 150 grain.Not that good but OK for shots at 100 at a deer

This weekend I tried the new Hornady ammo. The 4, three shot groups were 2.0, 1.0, 1.25 and 1.50 inches (i round to the 1/4 inch with my ruler)
That seems like a pretty solid improvement with the new ammo.

From what I understand the new ammo stretches the usefullness of the 30-30.

Just wanted to share some info

Very cool!!! [8D]

I too have a Marlin 30-30 and shoot Remington Core-Lokt's - and recently found it also liked Winchester Silvertip's in a 170gr. I have wanted to try the new Hornady Lever Revolution but never got a chance - yet...

It Should add an easy 50-70 yards to the range of the old round and flat nose shooters. Maybe more. I will be trying them soon as well.

I recently tried some of the new leverevolution rounds in my .444 Marlin. At 100 yds. it delived 1.25" groups. That was with a 4x Leupold fixed scope and a good rest. However, after 20 rounds I quit as I was getting tired, hot and somewhat beat up. I'm going back to the range to continue testing later this week... I hope.

I am glad to hear that the Hornady ammo is delivering positive results and am anxious to try it myself. My groups with my Winchesters and Federals have been under 2" at 100, but my trouble has been with penetration. I am looking forward to trying the new ammo on hogs.
