Hi everyone,
A while back someone posted this pic:  Attached FileIs this something to realistically be concerned about? Also, has anyone measured the jacket since? Any reason for them to make it thinner? Thanks for any information! |

Concerned? Why? They shoot great. The 75 BTHP is an accurate bullet no matter the thickness. I shot them in the Steel Match line for years in 3 gun and they work great. Still have some left that I shoot even though they dropped that line.

I don't think its something to be concerned about, lots of higher end accuracy wise bullets are thin jackeded

Also, has anyone measured the jacket since? Any reason for them to make it thinner? Thanks for any information! Did you read the thread it was apart of? Because it was part of a discussion of, possibly, a bad batch of Hornady 75 bullets that were disintegrating mid-flight...…. So yes, if you have bullets from that batch, yes it is something you should be concerned about...…..... |

It was shared in a thread asking about how the 75 grain Frontier’s were. I don’t remember anything about a bad batch of Hornady Frontier 75 bullets that we’re disintegrating mid-flight, though?! Is there lot information somewhere for what batch it was? Quote HistoryQuoted:

It was involving reloads with that bullet. FYI...…. just passing along information for you to consider..... |

If you are using them for game I'd be slightly worried - they may break up too quick and easy and not give a humane kill - but if not then well... not.

Accuracy wise it’s pretty solid stuff too. I’ve shot 2 boxes of it and it groups pretty well.

So does this load (75 frontier) have the t-2 bullet? I am debating this or the 55gr Gold Dot for my 10.5 pistol for HD/SHTF.
