[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1662949, member: 109862"] I’d add to this conversation that there’s no shortage of anecdotal reports of explicitly labeled “hunting” bullets performing inconsistently or failing to expand, right away it seems if someone has a bad experience with hpbt bullets people say “well that’s because they’re not for hunting”. I’ve heard many people complain about monometals poking holes and killing slow, and I’ve seen conventional softpoints fail to penetrate adequately. Regarding the hornady bullet failing to open...that’s great to know. I’ve read somewhere about guys who love their match bullet load and don’t want to change it opening up the hollow point very slightly, enlarging the meplat at the cost of a few points bc value. Perhaps that would ensure this undesirable performance doesn’t happen? [/QUOTE]
