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?


I have found a good stash of 170gr Hornady RN's for the 8mm. Looking at the ranges here I can get here in west washington jungle, I will switch to these for deer. Already have a load using IMR 3031 that chugs along at 2500 fps.
