Thread: Hornady 168g hollow point match

Can be a little unreliable from my experience which is honestly limited to observing a couple of animals dropped at pretty much standard ranges, with that bullet in the factory Hornady match loads. One hit a shoulder and basically exploded, bang-bits-flop and kick with whats left. The other went quite a way with a lung shot - pill did kill it but went through without a decent wound and slow leak out. OK in open country, not ideal in bush...

You might have better luck - but from what I saw I'd be thinking use the match pills on steel and something designed to expand on game? I'm pretty much lumping it into the same class as the Federal Gold Medal Match with the 168gr SMK bullet.
