Is the Hornady LE the only factory ammo you can buy for the Marlin MX?

Is brass and bullets readily available for the Marlin MX?

I am wanting to get one but I would like to know that ammo is available and that components are available if I decide to reload for it.

I've seen the Remington 250RN in pictures but not on any ammo shelves of local shops i frequent...I hope they are still going to produce it and maybe even expand the line...a 185gr and a 225 maybe?

So far, yes. Brass and bullets are readily available. I have 200 empty cases, and 300 bullets at the moment.
I just got a notice from Able Ammo that the long awaited 250 grain Remington factory loads were in. I ordered two boxes, but they were expensive ($26). I figure these will ride in the 338MX on pack trips in bear country. We'll see how they shoot.

Really? Let us know how they shoot.

How about that, here they are!

I have 1 box of unprimed hornady 338 brass that is back ordered with Cabela since 2/20/11. The other 2 boxes I got from Midsouth at $32.33 each. The boxes of FTX 200 bullets I got from Natchez at $35.24. Yep ended up paying premium price but at least I got a few boxes of each.
