I've used the 180 gr. Sierra round nose back when I lived in California. I hunted the Northwest corner of the state and they worked just fine on deer. There were Black Bears there as well so the state issued two tags for bear for IIRC, $200. Bring in the ears of two bears and you got two more tags for free.Guess those days are long gone now. Never used a 180 gr. Hornady as for some reason my San Francisco LGSs back then either could get them ot just didn't bother. It wasn't into sometime in the mid 1970s that I bought a Hornady bullet. That was to feed a new to me .243 I just bought. I've shot a few Hornady bullets when doing load work ups IIRC, the only game shot was four or maybe five deer when I let neighborhood kids do a deer hunt with my rifle. They worked just fine.

Our forefathers did not politely protest the British.They did not vote them out of office, nor did they impeach the king,march on the capitol or ask permission for their rights. ----------------They just shot them.
