Jorge,

Can't you just hear Joyce Hornady asking her patented question regarding bullet performance smirk : At what point, in the killing of the animal blah, blah, blah, you know how it goes.

I agree with your "POS" description of their bullets.


In the late 60s throughout the 70s in Montana, I had very little money. Yet I still handloaded 150g Partitions for big game in my 270 using a Lee Loader. I shot 90g Sierra HPs for marmots, crows and practice. Even when my total hunting cost was a resident big license for $35 (included one black bear, one elk, two deer, and one antelope) and gas for my pickup truck, shooting Partitions made sense to me at least. If I hadn't been able to shoot Noslers, I would've shot CoreLokts, Speer Hot Cores or Sierra GameKings back then. Hornady didn't even make the list.


Regards,

Chuck
