Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Hornady 75gr BTHP for medium game?

Has anybody used one of these on any deer, hogs, or coyote? How did they perform? I haven't purchased any yet, but the 5.56 superformance load looks impressive from a 20" AR for shooting at varmints way out there and maybe deer and antelope if they hold together a little.

How far is "way out there"? The b.c. is only .395.

Not that way out there. I mean like 500 yards for shooting at rock chucks.

.395 isn't bad for a 22 cal bullet

It's looking like a no. After some experimenting I'll post up some results.

Medium game = deer I thought?

Shot a doe at ~70 yards with one this last fall. Complete pass through. Dead deer.

Could you tell if the bullet had expanded at all?

yup

I keep a couple thousand around usually loaded up for whatever.

I've shot everything up to deer with them. Never had an issue.

Never shot any larger game past probably 225 ish yards, have shot yotes out past that, probably never had a chacne past 350 or so as I recall...
