I've never used it, but looking out in WWW land, it seems some like it and some hate it. Those who like it seem to be using it for hunting.
For the money, I'm stocking up on Gold Dots. |

You decide. The Hornady if I have been told properly will be somewhat the same, both fragmenting.
If you want an expanding round, Gold Dot, Fusion, or a few others will work very well. Gel Test |

Considering I can easily find Horn. Steel Match 75gr for around 40 cents per round.
I would stick with the proven bullet. |

Hornady Steel Training 75 is my favorite 75 grain load. It shoots very well in most of my guns and the "T1" bullet is proven.
I still have some of the older PPU 75 and 69gr loads. It shoots pretty good but not as good as the Hornady. The PPU velocity is kinda slow. I believe the PPU bullets are also good performers though. The AFRCOM hive has since moved away from the OTM fragmenting loads that were worshiped 8-10 years ago. Now we are all into bonded, barrier blind. Unless you get a fantastic deal on the PPU or your rifles just loves it, I would get Gold Dot 64 or 75gr loads or Honady 75 Steel Training using the T1 bullet (canalure) |

I've killed a lot of pigs with the PPU 75gr OTM component (bought about 7K of them way back), but wouldn't depend on them for HD.

75 grain gold dot is $.90 a round
No spank you. 64 grain is about the same as 75 grain ppu, $.50 a round. I might consider it. I know we're all about the latest in greatest with bullet tech, but cost matters. If I can't afford a couple of bricks on a regular basis I don't have any interest in it. I gotta practice. |

It is a good load. I shot it in 3 gun for a while. No issues. I think it would be a good HD round. It has good velocity and a open tip bullet. Contact member bluefalcon here in ARF and see if he has a gel test of it.
The only negative is the primer pocket crimp is huge and takes a little more time to chamfer. That is really a non-issue. |

This. Same bullet as one of the TAP loads, works great, and is cheap. I have my HD carbine loaded with it right now. I haven't shot any of it in a long time because it used to be so hard to come by, but it seems to be in stock at Midway right now. https://www.gtdist.com/products/guns-firearms/hornady-223rem-50-bx-bthp-training-75gr.html |

I roll my own with those bullets, they are a pretty accurate heavy bullet. |
