.257 Hornady A-Tip

[willfrye027]

I'd be tempted to try them for that BC gain over the 134s. But I've heard from some knowledgeable folks that A tip terminal performance can be variable..some working perfectly some not. On the other hand the 134s have been excellent on game for me and already retain plenty of velocity well beyond ranges I will personally shoot animals.

I bought some 162 gr sst bullet's when they 1st came out. They guy at the gun shop asked me what I was going to shoot with them. My reply was a spike elk.
He went on about how that bullet wouldn't work on elk only deer sized game and I should buy something else.

Well it worked perfectly well out of my 7 mag at 400 yards
High shoulder shot and dropped.
Maybe I was to dumb to know better.
I prefer a bonded or core lock bullets 20+yrs later. But wouldn't give up a hunt if all I had was cup and core bullets.
