Has anyone loaded the 100 grain bullet in the match grade and if so....how is their accuracy, speed and has anyone hunted with them yet......

Stone, first of all I need to say that I'm a couple years out of date with Hornady production so this reply has the risk of being a little outdated...ok?

1. Hornady Dont make a 100 grain Match grade bullet in 7MM
2. Hornady don't make a HPBT in 7MM

If you're going to ask about speed we need to know what cartridge you're shooting.

The above statements 1&2 are correct as of the year 2,000 and since then Hornady has been busy with .204 Ruger development, .480 Ruger development,
.458 Lott brass developement,
6.5-.284 brass development, interbond bullets introduction,...

I can be wrong...but please recheck your question.....ok?

Vapodog,

You are correct on both issues....I should have done my homework a little better.

OK, so let's change the topic.

Has anyone ever loaded the 100 grn. HP bullet in 7mm Rem Mag or 7mm Ultra Mag......How did it perform........in Speed, accuracy and drop.....any ballistic info......also has anyone ever hunted with it.

Thanks

Stone Cold, the lightest bullet I've ever run thru my 7MM Mag (STW) is the 120 V-Max and it's devastating on varmints.....

Hope you get a reply on the 100 Gn HP.
