@7mm Rem Mag those 62gr hornady are a very attractive price for a cheap-arse like me. What have your terminal results been like?

I'm using Frontier 5.56 mm factory ammo loaded with the Hornady 62 gr. SP in a Troy 16" barrel.

Shot lots of goats, some pigs and a couple of fallow out to 150 yd. Almost always exits goats, smaller pigs & smaller fallow with chest shots. Shows good expansion.
I'd say it's every bit as good as the Hornady 55 gr SP with slightly better penetration.
