The .338 Marlin Express is a rifle cartridge that was introduced by Marlin Firearms in 2009. It is specifically designed for use in lever-action rifles and intended for big game hunting. The cartridge aims to deliver performance comparable to that of the .30-06 Springfield but in a compact, lever-action-friendly format.
Key specifications include:
- Bullet diameter: .338 inches
- Case length: 2.015 inches
- Overall length: 2.60 inches
- Typical bullet weights range from 200 grains to 250 grains.
The .338 Marlin Express is known for its moderate recoil, high velocity, and flat trajectory, making it effective for hunting medium to large-sized game such as deer, elk, and black bear. It is particularly valued in thick brush or forested areas, where the quick handling of a lever-action rifle is advantageous.
