The purpose of the Hornady LeverRevolution ammo is extended range in lever actions. I've shot them in a 45-70, 444, 308ME and 30-30 and they do seem to kick a little more and shoot a little more accurate than some other factory loads but I haven't hunted with any of the LeverRevolution loads.

Several people I know have used it on game animals and stated the bullets don't stay together or penetrate well at close range.

I guess I'd try them on game animals if I was limited to a using lever gun for all types of hunting with possible long range shots but since I own several extremely accurate long range bolt guns I'll stick to conventional lead bullets for my lever actions.
