I have shot a few deer with hornady 170's and seen a fair number shot with a general selection of other 150g and 170g ammo and haven't really seen a lot of difference all worked well.
Absolutely true.
What drives my preference for the Hornady is the difference in accuracy compared to other component bullets. It is noticeably better, but that may change when I run out of the particular lot number I have.
My rifle seems to prefer 170s to 150s, and of the 170s, it really likes the Hornady.
Otherwise, terminal performance has been the same.
