Anyone shot anything besides steel and paper with these target bullets? How did they work?

Please no "I'd never employ a target bullet on deer" comments, simply accept you washed it and did information technology kill stuff quickly?

The 75 gr .224's seem to work rather well, I was only wondering about these bigger ones.

I take that same question regarding a few dissimilar 6.5 and .308 Match BTHPs (Nosler, Hornady, Berger) and Hornady A-MAXs of various weights.

I've shot a few hogs with the 140 hpbt in the cheaper "Hornady Black" ammo. Killed them great. Performed like many other cup/cadre bullets of that weight.

Thanks JPro.

Anyone else? I friend just got into a 6.five CM and the simply loaded rounds he has found has been these 140's and some V-Max'south.

six.v projectiles aren't too easy to come by either.

I had a 140 Hornady hpbt out of a creedmoor neglect to open on a bull elk at 400 yards. Recovered the bull due to some running and gunning. Constitute that bullet against the hide on the other side, somewhat aptitude but not opened. Was disappointed. I've had great success with the 105 hpbt Hornady, and several scenars.

+one.

Before the 'Rona striking, academy would run the black for $16 a box or so on sale. Bought a instance.
