[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 541131, member: 28854"] I'm not knowledgeable on them from use, so I can't comment from that perspective, but I'm a Hornady fan of their factory loads and reloading components. Here is what Hornady says about their GMX bullets: [I]"The new Hornady GMX™ (Gilding Metal eXpanding) bullets and factory ammunition offer the hunter who favors an expanding monolithic bullet a better choice. GMX bullets are constructed of the same gilding metal used to make ultra-consistent Hornady bullet jackets. Gilding metal doesn’t foul like “sticky” solid copper and strategically located grooves in the bearing surface of the bullet reduce pressure. These additions make the GMX easy to load using standard published data for comparable Hornady SST® bullets." "Hornady engineers designed the GMX bullet to perform across a very wide range of velocities, from +3,400 to 2,000 fps, and perform it does. GMX bullets are designed to expand to 1.5 times their original diameter and retain over 95% of their original weight. They’re no slouch in the penetration department either, routinely penetrating over 30" in gelatin tests." [/I][IMG]http://www.chuckhawks.com/hornady_GMX_150.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
