When I played with the 257 Ackley Improved, mid eighties, I used the Hornady 120 HP. It was a killer on crows (as one would imagine) and the small Texas deer. Hornady discontinued it, but I saw some other day online. After all this time, would the bullet jackets have become brittle? Maybe 40yrs isn't long enough...?
Believe it's actually the lead that breaks down and becomes brittle.
Would shoot a few into stuff and see how they perform before puttin'em into game.
