I'd take Hornadys over Hot Cor, Core Lockts and especially Sierras ANY DAY. Hornadys are fine bullets, just as long as you keep them below 2800 fps or so, and even then there are some, like the 100gr .25 that seems exceptionally hard. I use them out of my 257 Weatherby with great results.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
