RE: Hornady Light Magnum
The hornady light mags arethe only factory ammo my a-bolt (270, not a 30-06) loves. Often 3 shots at 1/2" always 3/4" or less if I dont pull one.It is really loaded different from other factory loadings. I was going to sell my a-bolt before I tried this ammo. Every other brand(hornady custom, federal premium, federal fusion, federal power shok, winchester ballistic silvertip and accubond, winchester powerpoint, remington corelokt, remington premium, black hills gold)I tried shot from so-so 1.25-1.5" to horrible 3+" groups.
I'll admit that I'd never know the difference between a 3/4" and a 1.5" group in the woods, but a 1.5" group doesnt make me feel very confident when it goes boom. The interbond bullets that come loaded in the stuff are also very stout bullets, but not too stout. They still open a pretty big hole in the back side of deer.
