re: Hornady American Whitetail ammo

MC,
I've shot a bunch of different Hornady bullets in deer hunting loads through the years (130 spire point & 150 gr round nose in 270 Win rifle; 180 gr spire point bullet in 35 Rem Contender; 130 gr spire point in 300/221 Contender; 80 gr spire point bullet in a 6 mm wildcat Contender). Accuracy and performance was fine. Until this season. I'd always shot their 150 gr SST bullet in my 308 Win handgun. Killed a 1/2 dozen or so deer w/ the bullet. I found the bullet to be a little "hard" at my reduced muzzle velocities; it still worked, but I made a habit of trying to hit the shoulder on the way in. Changed to the 125 Nosler Ballistic Tip this year and harvested a doe w/ that bullet. I've never shot any of their loaded ammo.
