Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Hornady roundnose performance

Haven't used them on game yet, but here's a jug test of the .308 Hornady 180gr RN.

2 bullets fired at a distance of 20 yards.

First one was at a muzzle velocity of 2725 and went into the 4th jug. Actually went out the side of the 4th jug and through the side of the 5th jug and bounced off the 6th jug. So would go 4-5 jugs if straight through. Weighed 108 gr's and measured .645.

Next one was fired at a reduced speed of around 2000 fps. Went into the 6th jug, weighed 143 gr's, and measured around .575.

Should be a good whitetail bullet. Quick expansion and more than adequate penetration.
