.308 Marlin Express Ammo Prices

Marlin's 2007 attempt to give the lever gun modern .308 class performance with flat shooting spitzer bullets and a special ballistic tip that was safe in a tube magazine. It was a genuinely clever idea that arrived just as the lever gun world was contracting and the timing killed it. A good cartridge that showed up to the wrong party.

Loads run 140 to 160 grain in the scarce offerings that survive. A fading niche caliber priced for its rarity in small boxes. The lever action shooters who committed to it stock up whenever it appears because tomorrow is uncertain.
