The 2nd generation Remington factory loads were rumored to be bonded after they went to the heavier jackets. I am hoarding those for deer and they are good for Turkey too where you don't want them to fragment.
Not sure when Remington switched to the Hornaday 25 instead of the in house 25? Sometime in the early 90's I think.
I’ve heard that Remington might have used Hornady to source their 17 bullets at some point in time. I know those old Remingtons didn’t always look the same as the Hornady 25 HP. I kind of think I can remember the Rem 25 HPs being Power-lokt for awhile????? (Or is that just another memory I have- like some others- that just ain’t so?)
