Man I've never seen the 68s with cannelure.. interesting now I want to try some in my 9 twist gas gun.
I shoot the 68s without cannelure in my 20" 9 twist bolt gun and absolutely love them. Fantastic close range accuracy and enough consistency for the 800 yard steel. Don't push it much past thay due to wind.. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I believe everything you said above is correct Molon. But the big unanswered question is why? Here are some of the why's: Why did Hornady design a whole new 68 grain HPBT?? Why didn't they just roll a crimping grove on the original 68 grain, like they did on the 75 grain?? Why is Hornady keeping it a secret, since it is available to reloaders, and not just ammo makers?? Why not have load data just for it?? Why not have seperate BC data just for it?? And why has the fact that there are 2 totally different 68 grain Hornady HPBT bullets (totally different, and not that one just has a cannelure) for a number of years, has escaped the notice of almost everybody.... (Except you Molon, of course) I agree with you on all of this. Why make two different 68 gr hpbt bullets? Why do they not include data for this bullet that they make, in the manual they make? |
