I've seen the plan Jane Round Nose bullets often shoot amazingly well at 100 and they have an excellent track record for that kind of work. Yet the majority don't use them.

Why?


Great question considering that most New England deer are shot at closer ranges and in the woods as opposed to more open places.

Your example above is why I have been using the 154 Hornady RN in my Montana 7-08 which is my primary still hunting rifle.

Maybe it's the combination of a slower velocity and Interlock construction, but this bullet really puts the hurt on deer....and my rifle really likes them!

Then again, I mainly hunt with the 154's or a Partition of sorts.
