Outstanding. 2,425fps is fast enough. This is exactly what the cartridge has needed for quite some time. Sure hope it will be available as a component

This ammo is screaming for a new rifle! Maybe Hornady is in collaboration with Marlin on this!

By looking at there offerings you would think Henry would be more accepting of the idea of chambering some rifles in the 25-35. They are also producing a new single shot for next year, heck I'd take one of them in the old Winchester round.

I fired my 25-35 1899 Savage saddle ring for the first time yesterday. Was a very pleasant experience. It fits me well as it is old, worn and has bruises and cracks like myself. Stock has been Bubbaed but still functions. Likely will replace the wood but then the metal won't look right. That gun has stories stamped all over it, would be great to know a few. GW

If they are going to do that, I would improve the case ackley style, and call it a 258 Marlin or Henry.

call me weird but i'd love to see a special run of 336's in the guide gun config with this cartridge. i think a 25-35 in a nice compact package would be sweet. very little recoil and enough ooompf for whitetail.

YES!!!! A nice straight grip (TEXAN) Marlin 336 please. Of course if not my Win 94 SRC will just have to do!

Wow. This is a surprise. Please, someone, a new lever-action 25-35.

Does anyone know when this ammunition will be on the shelves? I had stored away my 1940s Model 94 because ammunition and reloading components were so hard to find. This afternoon I dug it out and ready to give it new life! But, I can't find the ammunition on any shelves yet.

Rancher, I can't find the ammo either, not a single box. I'm looking for the new 218 Bee ammo in every corner I can think off. I will try and call Hornady.

If they would make a .218 Bee FTX I would really be happy!

It's still 2016, these are 2017 introductions so I wouldn't expect to find any just yet.

E-mailed Hornady concerning the new 110 grain .25 cal FTX bullet.
They said 30-60 days before they ship.
