Looks like Remington is now producing 308 marlin rounds, so you don't have to rely only on Hornady. I may have to get a 308 marlin now that there's another source. Having only one worried me a little.

Remington Adds the Popular 308 Marlin Express to Centerfire Rifle Ammunition Category
Madison, N.C. – New for 2009, Remington is offering the 308 Marlin Express cartridge in the legendary line of Core-Lokt® hunting ammunition. Now Marlin® lever-action fans shooting the hot new 308 Marlin Express cartridge can experience the “Deadliest Mushroom in the Woods.” The 308 Marlin Express offering will feature a Core-Lokt 150 grain soft point bullet with a muzzle velocity of 2725 fps, providing 308 Win performance levels in a lever-action platform.
In 1939, Remington Arms Company Inc. set the world standard in centerfire rifle ammunition design and performance with the advent of the Core-Lokt bullet. This new bullet design was based around the thicker mid-section of its heavy metal jacket which mechanically locked to its inner lead core. The Core-Lokt bullet was the first controlled expansion bullet that provided hunters with minimum bullet break-up and deep penetration on game. Over the years Remington has refined the original Core-Lokt design and perfected the manufacturing processes used to produce it. Now, nearly 70 years after its introduction, the Remington® Core-Lokt bullet has taken more big game than any other bullet on the market. Generations of hunters have trusted Remington Core-Lokt to put meat on the table and trophies on their walls.
