Hornady Podcast 226 Match Bullets for Hunting

[Coleredding00]

The most important thing i got out of it, is that the cavity behind the plastic point is not QCd in the eldm. They admit that they don’t measure whether the gap behind the tip is consistent, and also that the harness of the lead is not checked. This would lead me to believe the stories of more inconsistent expansion on bullets like the 108 vs the 103.

Maybe if they were meaning just their BTHP bullets.

I listened to that part again and didn’t get any impression they were calling out other companies bullets. It sounded to me like they were probably referring to their own HPBT match bullets and didn’t think to clarify it. There’s a number of HP Sierra Gamekings and IIRC one of Joyce Hornady’s favorite hunting bullets was the old 25 cal 120 gr HP (flat base though, not a BT) out of a 257 Weatherby.
