It’s as big as the Grand Canyon, it’s right at home when chambered in a classic lever gun like the Winchester Model 1886, the Marlin Model 1895 or a classic Sharps falling block, and like America herself, it’s big enough to handle Alaska.

Hornady has added the classic .348 Winchester to its popular LEVERevolution line, using the 200-grain FTX bullet.
