Thanks Uncle Don! smile I have used a wad of Monos and or Partitions through the years. But as mentioned, I think I have shot "more" Hornady than any C&C. I am zeroing in on the 118gr HHT tipped Hammers for game and the Scenar 120 for practice. I am also a big believer in Barnes TTSX, so I have that option. If I decide to try a heavier bullet,(and I may, all depending) I think I would skip the 130s and just go straight to the 140 Hornady. I have alot of game killing experience with the Nosler 120 BT and the 125 PT out of that 6.5/284, so been there/done that, ha. I'm all about the experience, and I will surely not die of hunger if I pass on a tough shot, ha. I really look at this .264 WM as my "Prairie Rifle" on mule deer/antelope does. Its also a great spare elk rifle.
