Question about vintage Hornady bullets. - 05/23/20
I ran across these bullets at an old country store recently and the guy said they had been sitting on the shelf for a long time. The boxes were old and still factory sealed but he allowed me to open one and the bullets are somewhat discolored. I could tell they were older vintage Hornady bullets. I asked him how much and he said $10 a box so I bought both boxes. I've been able to find very little info searching the web about this bullet and the Hornady site doesn't show them at all. What little I've found says that it's a big game bullet but it being a hollow point I don't know if that's true or not. I think I'll try to contact Hornady and see what they say. If it is in fact a big game bullet I think I'm going to try and work up a load for my 25.06 and give them a try on deer here in NC.
My questions are has anyone ever used these bullets? Also do you think that these two boxes are the same bullet? One says Spire point HP the other just says Hollow point. Looks to be the same. Thanks. Mike
