I believe that Hornady just announced their general availability for the raw bullets in their 2009 cataolg as the FTX (flex tip) so they probably will be available soon. I am hearing January 16th from Midway.
I use this LEVERevolution ammunition in my wife's 30-30 and my .35 Rem Marlins. I have had excellent results on deer the last two years and would like to try them in a muzzy also.
The SST-ML muzzleloader bullets from Hornady also use the FTX bullet from the LEVERevolution line (listed as the .450 Bushmaster in the catalog). It is currently the only one in the FTX line that does not have a cannelure.
