Default Hornady offering Leverlution bullets as components in 09!!

Hornady's website is proclaiming the offering of the Leverlution bullets for reloaders in 2009!! Might have to dust off my Marlin 336 for next fall. From what i see i'll be able to reload a 160 grain soft tip pill hovering around 2400 fps at the muzzle and a remaining 1000 ftlbs of energy at 300 yards. I wasn't enthused with buying the ammo but now that the bullets will be offered as a component i may have to play a bit with em this spring.

I think their R&D dept must be pretty busy. I noticed yesterday they also have a solid bullet much like the Nosler E-Tip, made of gilding metal with a polymer tip called the GMX. I've been really pleased with everything I've bought from Hornady.

Myself included. The 265gr. Interlocks that I shoot out of my .444 have done a fine jobs on 2 animals that I've harvested with it. But, I'll be sure to load up some of the Leverevolution. I have used the factory loads and noticed that the brass was shorter than virgin Remington .444 brass. by quite a bit. Will that make a difference if loading with standard brass I wonder?
