[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 97645, member: 8947"] All of the Hornady poly tipped bullets have shot very well for me. Both the SST and interbond are almost as good as match bullets. Amazing considering their intended purpose. As long as impact velocities are not over 3000fps, I sincerely doubt that any grass eater is going to 'bounce' a bullet. Certainly a light bullet 30cal is not a dangerous grass eater combo but more then enough for any game up to moose in size. I would say Canadian deer have thicker hides/fur and more fat to shoot through then typical African deer. I really don't think a gazelle would last too long in minus 25C winters. The slower they hit, the more penetration they will give you. I have found ideal impact velocity to be around 2300 to 2600fps. At this speed, I have had SST's travel through a lot of mule deer (measured in several feet) and give nice large exit wounds. Break bone not too bad if need be. They are not for the bone breaking hunter, especially at close range and high impact velocities. You would be better served with the Barnes and similar. But for the boiler room hunter, they work extremely well. Jerry [/QUOTE]
