Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Anyone tried the Hornady .257 120 gr. HP on deer?

I've never tried the bullet, always wonted to.

I always had the same question as you. I've read that Joyce Hornady designed the 120 gr. HP for elk. Also have heard of its excellent penetration.

So it sounds like a pretty tough bullet.

I've found out at the speeds your talking a quicker expanding bullet drops deer on the spot rather than have them dart for the kudzoo ----
