Has anyone ever had any experiance of a batch of bad projectiles for Honerdy 150grn softpoints?
The reason is that I have had a batch of 7mm loaded for the Stalker that works for me & the deer he is taking are all running on quite a way before dropping, the chap is a very good shot & all the said deer were Heart/lung shot.
This has only been since the projectile change, as prior to this he was shooting 7x64mm Sako Factory 150 grn arrow heads & 8 out of 10 deer were dropping on the spot.
on inspection all the said deer were hit in the right place with impact & exit-but I just think that these bullets are acting like FMJ, not expanding properly & punching straight through.
The load data is all correct for the round & loaded with R15.
I am changing him over to 130grn Speer Hot Core Splitzers as I have far more confidence in Speer for doing what they are ment to do at the terminal end!
