Been using 160 gr. NPT for years with good results, just built a second 280 and would like to try the Hornady as it's much more available.

What say ye?

Thanks in advance.

1 Dall sheep, 1 black bear, & several hogs. No bullets recovered, no 2nd shot ever required.

This from a 7x57, with MV around 2,650 fps. If I were to quibble, I might say that the exit wounds weren’t all that big. It could just be that that bullet is stout, and didn’t open that much at those velocities. It’s my understanding it will stand up well to 7 mag velocities.
