HRNDY LVREVO 308MRLN EXPS 160GR 20RD

Lever-action rifle shooters in Livermore and throughout the Bay Area need ammunition engineered for consistent performance in classic platforms. Hornady's LeverEvolution line delivers controlled expansion through FlexTip bullet design, making it suitable for medium-game hunting. Before purchasing ammunition in California, familiarize yourself with California firearm laws to ensure compliant ownership and use.

FlexTip Design and Lever-Action Performance

The 160-grain FlexTip projectile in this .308 Marlin Express load combines soft-point construction with a polymer tip that initiates expansion upon impact. This design prevents bullet deformation during feeding through lever-action magazines while delivering reliable expansion on game. The brass casing supports handloading for shooters who reload their own ammunition. TacticCAL customers often reference our California gun-buyer FAQ when selecting ammunition that pairs with their lever-action rifles. Visit our gun store in Sunnyvale for our full catalog.
