Crappy hornady 7mm 139 gr BTSP

[billdick]

I went shooting gophers today and I found one of my bullets laying on the snow. It was a forty yard or so shot and all that was laying there was the copper jacket. I always used rem corelokt but my bulk pack of 1000 ran out and I can't get them any more so I am trying these. They scare me, I think they will fail when it comes down to it.

Yup looks like crap to me, You should be using barnes X Bullets for Gophers

Did it does that after hitting or before , a corelokt wouldn't explode before hitting something like goepher or snow------- imo

I've shot several deer with that same bullet in a couple of 7x57 Mausers and a .280 Rem and always found it to be excellent-expanded well and hung together just like you want. Now for gophers I like it's little brother,the Horn .224 55gr SXSP. It's just like they swallowed a grenade!!
