Hornady .30 cal.168 gr. BTHP Match

Nope.

Slightly off the original question but 190 Sierra BTHP moly, and the Hornady 190 BTSP shoot to the same point out of my Remington 700 Sendero .300 Win Mag out to 300 yards, and I have mixed them into the shooting order. Nothing scientific!

Nope.

x2

the only main difference is a little less cleaning the barrel and the increase in price. lots of hype when it first showed up on the scene with claims that proved to hold no substance.

 

[Longshot]

Moly is simply a coating that goes on a regular copper bullet to decrease friction and make cleaning easier.So these are essentially the same bullet just one is coated and the other is not.

Why not try both and you tell us if there is a difference.

 

[phishroy]

currently have the 168 hornady copper in stock if you want to try them.

I shoot them interchangeably in my Garand. Same load, same point of impact.

Truth be told I can't tell the difference in cleaning between the two.

I just like the way the moly bullet looks in a nickel case. I know I shouldn't pay extra for that...but I do.
