In a conversation I had with Hornady customer service guy a few years back, he related to me that the bullet was designed to hold up to elk hunting using the .257 Weatherby and .25-06. Once I get all the other projects out of the way, I am going to shoot these against the Sierra, TSX, and the NP looking for a heavy bullet load for my .25-06. Any one should be good for Wisconsin whitetail, even the 300 pounders we get up nort' and in the corn belt.
