Red C.Hornady Leverevolution Bullets In A 30-06?
I have tried everything and I can't get the 160 grain Leverevolution bullets to shoot in my old Marlin. I've been doing a lot of research on the web and found that I'm not the only one with this problem. Although they shoot great in some Marlins, they tumble in others. I don't need to shoot them in my Marlin, as I have several other loads that work really well. I only tried the Leverevolutions because a friend gave them to me.
My question: Could I shoot them in my 30-06? What will they do at 30-06 pressures and velocities?

Lloyd SmaleThe may be a bit fragile but im sure they would do just fine on deer sized game. I wouldnt fool with them on anything bigger though.

K EvansI have shot the 45-70 Leverevolution bullet in my .458 Lott and they pretty much turn into a rubber tipped grenade when they hit anything semi solid, I imagine they would do the same in at .30-06 velocities.
