Hornady LEVERevalution & FTX Bullets??

How many here have tried the Hornady LEVERevalution???
I have bought both the 30-30 and the .35 rem. but haven't tried then at the range.
Because I Reload;
I have, however, tried the Hornady FTX bullets. My only complaint is that Hornady's recommended load data is about 200 fps slower than the Factory Ammo.
Because of my age and physical problems, my hunting isn't what it used to be nor near what I would like it to be. Just the way it is.

I've reloaded about 1,000 rounds each of the FTX in 444 and 45/70 in the short cases. I don't own a crony however I was very happy with the performance. I loaded over H4198 which is my go-to powder for the 450, 45/70, 444.

I've since gone to full size brass and other loads. Two reasons, more options on loads & boolits..... and the price of the FTX!
