Hey guys, first post here. No expert on the HDY FTX bullets but
I think from my two kills they are getting an undeserved rap for
breaking apart when hitting game. Killed one with an open sited
.32 Special Mod 94. Broke shoulders on a doe at 80 yards, bang
flop! Loaded some of .35 caliber HDY FTX component bullets in a
7600 Remington pump in .35 Remington. Drove them to 2404fps with
a +P+ load. Shot a HUGE doe trotting across an overgrown field @
98 yards. Bang flop again. In the right shoulder and out the left shoulder. Tore the heart completely free of lungs. Two kills does not make a scientific study but it sure built my confidence up those FTX bullets. The doe with .35 Remington still hit with over 2000ft/lbs of energy and that bullet stayed
together as did the factory load from the .32 Special @ 2300fps.
358 Win
