The Hornady 87gn hp was killing deer dead back in the eighties, and in my Hornady load manual of that decade it was listed as a medium game pill, It is still killing deer now, but now Hornady list it as a varmint pill only - I'll bet it's down to too many yanks not understanding animal anatomy and the pill they are using, and then blaming the pill and the manufacturers designation for it.

Have just loaded up a bunch of the 87hp and 87 Sierra sp and I plan on killing a freezer full of deer with either one! and a bunch of hoppers with the sp.
