That doesn't surprise me. Back when I used to hot-rod more, I used to load the 100 Hornady up to 3300 fps from a 24" .257 Roberts, and it held together well.
The time I really remember is finishing off a friend's muley buck with a neck shot at very close range. The bullet didn't exit, but it did bust the spine, and ended up under the hide on the far side. Not bad for an impact velocity of around 3275 fps!

I'm with JB and DZ about the 100 Horn in a 25/06 and or 257 Wby. I used it for quite a time as did some other buds and always had super success with it on deer/elk/lopes/bruins/yotes/parrots....
One very good bullet!

you got to remember......PLACEMENT supercedes caliber, no matter what, when your talking about big critters! That pretty much says it all.
It's all in the reflexes.

Actually, this has been a good thread in some ways, I am always interested in other, more experienced hunters picks in big game rifle calibers!

Not on this thread, Chuck Nelson had one this year, as did Mark Dobrenski, as did I... that's three guys that all know each other in one season.
I'm going back to copper/lead bullets... Brad, I remember Chuck and Dober's wonky TSX issues but must have missed your's. You(or someone) have a link or details? Thanks, Sam Sam, will put a post later in the month or new year...

Noticed you like the 'sailor' moniker, about right you little fudge packer.

Yep, that's it. Tell me about the time you were involved in a rescue at sea or your employer stopped BILLIONS of dollars of drugs coming into the country, or you were in on the development of a ship designed for stopping the drugs, saving people, and national security and I'll tell you about 'sucking' on the government tit.
Merry Christmas.
