On the days I carry my Hornet this turkey season, I’ll be using 46gr Speer FPs designed for the 218, loaded over 9gr of H110 and Fed GM100 primers. My notion is that the FP will deliver a good whack without burgerizing the bird. When I dialed in a newly-acquired Burris Mini 6x a few weeks ago with that load, the final 3-shot group I fired at 50 yards to confirm the sighting was one odd-shaped hole.
Mostly, I just want to tote the pretty little Browning around the Spring woods…..
IIRC, Seyfried said that Nosler SB was his favorite all-around Hornet slug. There’s some demand for those in Hornet circles I think. I have a broken box from around 2000.
