I'm loading 54.0 of H-4831sc using the "discontinued" Hornady 120 gr HP. An extremely accurate load in my T/C
Encore. Don't let the "hollow point" fool you , the 120 gr HP is an extremely tough bullet. When Doug Derner was still working at Hornady I spoke to him on using this bullet for Elk, Doug's reply was the 120 gr HP is one of the toughest bullets we make.
There is a poster over at Trapshooters.com whose screen name is "SuperXJeff." His hunting group has killed
over 80 Elk and Mule Deer using the 120 gr HP. When Hornady discontinued the 120 gr HP Jeff went into a "PANIC", he was able to pick up 1,000 bullets in short order. I just picked up a another box on the classifieds
last week.
I also shoot the Hornady 100 gr interlock using 51.0 of H-4350, chrono's at 3,389.
I don't shoot boattail bullets as the 117 gr BTSP but have used the Hornady 117 gr SST in my 250 Savage with
stellar results even at very low speeds.
