I finally had the opertunity to trip the trigger on a large whitetail doe using the Hornady leverevolution ammo in my 24" .35Rem. Marlin 336ADL! About 75yds and was faceing me slightly angled. Bullet entered ribcage about midway back severed the remaining ribs, traveled rearward and shattered the pelvis and exited out the rear "waste hole"! The bullet never touched any vital but the deer dropped in her tracks and never moved! very minimal meat damage. Take it from me it lives up to the hype! Actual field dressed weight was 153#, just a typical Pa. whitetail!

    i've been shooting some of this ammo out of my 45-70 BFR with decent results on paper, pretty potent load, not quite as accurate as my handloads or some other factory ammo that i've tried out but still pretty decent. I got 3 boxes of ammo in a trade+cash deal on a gun i was selling and thought i came out pretty good in the long run. Cant wait to put some meat in front of it to see what kind of terminal damage it does, when it happens i'll be posting pics and the story
