The Hornady LEVERevolution Rifle Ammo in 444 Marlin 265 gr FTX brings the Superformance series ballistics into lever-action hunting and range use with a 2325 fps muzzle velocity and roughly 3180 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, giving you a flat-shooting trajectory and deep penetration out of classic big-bore rifles. If you run a heavy-bullet 444 Marlin for brush country stalking or plains long shots, the Flex Tip eXpanding (FTX) design resists deformation in tubular magazines, initiates controlled expansion on impact, and maintains weight for reliable terminal performance on deer, hogs, and elk-sized game. Shooters will also appreciate the brass casing for consistent chambering and extraction and the American origin that many hunters and range shooters seek. Whether dialing in sights at the bench, loading a guide gun for backcountry trips, or taking ethical shots at intermediate ranges, this LEVERevolution load balances velocity and energy without requiring wild over-penetration, and it integrates easily with lever rifles tuned to the 444 Marlin platform while offering the confidence Hornadys Superformance reputation provides.
