I appreciate any and all attempts (that was a sheitload of A words in a row) to 'improve' stuff and I'm thrilled that older cartridges are still being looked at, especially by Hornady.
That said, a FP do smack stuff and I'm not one to go away from them in tube feed levers.
I agree. I prefer the FPs in most "lever rounds" Also, reloaders should take a look at the brass Hornady uses for its Leverevolution ammo. Hornady's 444 Marlin Leverevolution cartridges use shorter brass to accommodate the longer bullets. That's swell if your going to reload using the "gummy tips" but the case is too short for the FPs. You can make it work but it's not ideal. I'm not sure about the other calibers.
T.S.
