Anyone used Hornady Black on game

[rickt300]

Give Hornady a call & ask why the 105's are not marketed as a hunting round. Simply not the correct bullet for the job.

Study up differences in hunting projectiles VS target projectiles.

I have used many match bullets for taking game with few issues. I know the differences. Regular hunting bullets can have issues also. Today I did a jug test with the bullet pushed to just under 2600 fps. Went through 3 gallon milk jugs, destroying the first two and splitting the third. it missed the fourth jug but went into the berm. Any bullet that gets through 3 jugs has enough penetration for deer. I also tested the 100 gr. Speer BTSP at the same velocity and found it in the third jug. Jugs were set up in front of my 100 yard berm and shot from 100 yards. After deer season the hog wars will begin anew and some testing on them will ensue. Many people have reported good results on deer using the 105 gr. HPBT out of 243 rifles. As for asking Hornady I'm sure they want to sell their more expensive bullets and if they have any military contracts surely do not want their match bullets labeled as hunting bullets.
