I'm planning to try the Hornady 160 FlexTip this year if I use the 30-30. Did the FTX exit on your shots? Are you getting better results than with C&C bullets?

I have shot 4 deer and one hog with the Flextip only one didn't exit and it was shot into a quartering to #170 eight point at 100 yards. The bullet penetrated through the shoulder and almost 24 inches of deer and was under the hide at the last rib.

Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better.

True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth.

If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.
