Default RE: Hornady Light Magnum rounds

Personally I see little reason to shoot these light mags, unless they shoot more accurately. Perhaps in some instances, but for the most part I find loads that work in remington or federal that do just fine.

With bullets from other manufacturers with higher BC, often they'll overtake the energy of these light mags down range...
Yep me too.Some of if not the most accurate rounds I have ever shot were some .243 loaded with a Lee Loader using their data and measure.Thesewere always on the down size of the scale .Shot them through a Rem.788,$79.00 Tasco scope .Used 100 grain Hornady B.T.S.P.,Deadly accurate and deadly on deer.But then again I still want some kind of 6 mm that will run one about 8 million F.P.S.
