Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the FTX bullet safe to use in tubular magazines?
Traditional spitzer (pointed) bullets pose a risk of primer ignition when stacked tip-to-primer in a tubular magazine under recoil. Hornady's FTX bullet uses a soft elastomer tip that compresses on impact like a pointed bullet for excellent ballistic performance, but is flexible and safe when seated against the primer of the round in front of it — giving you the best of both worlds in a lever-action platform.
What game animals is this ammunition suitable for?
The .338 Marlin Express with a 200 grain FTX bullet is well-suited for medium to large North American big game, including white-tailed deer, mule deer, black bear, feral hogs, and elk at moderate ranges. The combination of high muzzle velocity, controlled expansion, and deep penetration makes it an effective and ethical hunting round across a variety of terrain and conditions.
Which rifles are chambered for the .338 Marlin Express?
The .338 Marlin Express was developed by Hornady and Marlin Firearms specifically for the Marlin Model 336XLR lever-action rifle. If you own a Marlin 336XLR or another rifle confirmed by the manufacturer to be chambered in .338 Marlin Express, this ammunition is purpose-built for your platform. Always verify your firearm's chamber marking before purchasing ammunition.
