Amazed Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 The lighter versions are supposed to be the muts nuts( sorry ) in the hornet. Maybe worth a go if the price is right ! Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin lad Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I bets for most shooting they will be just fine....how far do you expect the average distance you shoot will be? U. as they seem a good price i was going to use them on rabbits at hmr distances and a little more up to 150 yards but on windy days when the little 17gr hmr is un usable with the odd 200 fox though i have my 50gr hornaday vmax for them Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooter Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I have been using 55grn Dogtown for years and they are very good, just don't expect clover leaf as they are a softpoint. There is speculation as to who makes them, but the packaging looks exactly like Nosler, and the same (or a very similar) bullet is sold in Oz by Nosler with a BC of 0.220. Some speculate they are Remington, but Remmy 55grn SP bullets have a cannelure and a BC of 0.197 so I doubt they would make a better bullet for a lower price.
