[QUOTE="ChrisRhodes, post: 2868750, member: 125352"] As stated. I haven’t used hornady. But the CE and the barnes have been just as accurate as lead core bullets. CE possibly drops critters faster. I need more critters down to draw a complete conclusion. I’m using a mix of barnes and CE this season. I have had other handgun hunters say good things about the hornady lead free factory ammo. So far the conclusions I can draw is…. Lead free pistol ammo works and kills cleanly. Forget bullet weight when you are trying to pick a mono. Look at length. For example. A 200 mono is about the same as a 240 JHP 44 140 mono is about the same as a 158 JHP 357. Penetration is about the same between the monos and the JHP when measured up by the above example. Trying to go heavy in monos just reduces powder capacity drastically. Just my 2 cents gathered on about 5 years of hunting data. [/QUOTE]
