[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 459333, member: 13285"] I have use the 250 grain Hornady BTHP match bullet extensivly on game and can give you a full report on its capability. First there is two bullets. The old type that may still be found in some gun shops. Second is the new type with the new jacket material. The old type was excellent on game and expanded and killed very well at long range. If you can find some in the old style bland red box then buy all you can. The new type now has a thicker jacket which Hornady brags about. It comes in a glossy red box. It is totaly useless as a hunting bullet and will not expand. Do not use it for hunting at long range. I am not sure about the 285 grain match bullet, but if it has the same thick jacket as the new type 250 grain bullet then it will not be any good as a game getter. Have to get some and test them. Only way to find out. [/QUOTE]
