I started hunting with the new Hornady Leverevolution bullets in 30-30 last year. Had to break old habits. Shot a deer at 150 yds. I had elevated just a little and almost missed her over the top.
Haymaker,
You can get that same gun(XLR series) in the new Marlin 308 Express. Ballistics are very similar to the 308 Win but it is a different bullet. They are hard to get since they are a new model. I have been on the waiting list for about two months. My understanding is that the XLR models are made to more exacting standards than traditional lever guns due to the increased range provided by the Hornady bullets.
