[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 546350, member: 30902"] I've shot many pounds of hornady bullets and I've always had good performance from them. I have always had fantastic luck with the interbond, interlock, and the few SST's I've used. On very think skinned game at long range they won't expand much, but then things like rabbits, coyotes, and bobcats don't require that much. The problem comes with heavy bodied, heavy boned game where good expansion is essential and they have done very well for me there even on hogs. One thing Nosler does on their site that I wish hornady did is to show the expansion at various velocities for all of their bullets. The biggest problem I see with the VLD HP's is that at sub 500yd ranges where velocities can easily still be 1,500 fps or higher those bullets will shell out when they hit something hard/thick. That's not an issue though with the .308 with most loads beyond 350yds. [/QUOTE]
