Hornady bonded .470 bullets

[JamesJ]

Got a surprise in from the good folks at Hornady today. we will have to see how they work. 2 buff and 2 elephant tentatively scheduled for this year. Should be a case of loaded ammo arriving soon to test on some unfortunate Texas pigs. Ive had mixed results with their big bore stuff in the past, hopefully these are the ticket.

Would be very interested to see how the new versions work out. If you can shoot something with them and recover them, I'd love to see the pics of the results.

 

[JamesJ]

will do

 

[BRICKBURN]

Ditto. Would like to see the results

Good luck.

JamesJ, anxiously awaiting your results! Thanks!

I'm hoping the loaded ammo comes in soon. Otherwise ill have to get off my butt and load some ammo.

This will definitely be interesting.... Are you going to test them on a buff James?

And great to see you in Dallas too!

 

[JamesJ]

Good seeing you as well, darn shame i had to leave though. I did get a nice thank you letter form my liver.

ummmmmmm, no. Not knocking them, but i've had some pretty serious mixed results with a few of their past offerings. I figure a few 300 pound porkers from different angles is a good idea before the buff hunt. I do have a ranch with some big bison and yak that may be a good trial as well. Then onto things that endanger my life.

Look forward to hearing about the tests!

I didn't think so! When you said you had the hunts I got confused!

The pigs will make for interesting media. Maybe you can get a couple head on?

Bison would be really interesting... Happy you come take a ham from that. You know, just to ease your burden.

 

[JamesJ]

hunts are late this year, so i've got some time.
