Yep. It'll do the job.

How did you make an image of the whole page in your browser?

Happy Hunting, Phil
copied the page to clip board using print screen, then pasted it onto a document. From there I saved the document as a jpg image in paint shop pro and then sent it to a web server to be published as a photo...
Awesome cayugad. Thanks, that'll save me alot of time.

Hornady makes a Great Plains Conical in 410 grain. I also have some in 385 grain and 460 grain all made by Hornady. The Great Plains Conical has been a stand by conical for many years. They normally shoot real well but can be a little hard to load..

Phil,

I just bought some Buffalo 410's. They are hollow pointed flat based bullets. I also bought some 385 Hornady Great Plains and some Buffalo 270 Ballets. As cayugad said, Hornady makes a 410 which happens to be solid point hollow based.When I expect impact velocities below 1200 fps, I like to use hollow pointed bullets, though i may be better off sticking with the solids.I think bothwork just fine. But I don't like non-jacketed hollowpoints above 1300 fps impact velocity.Obviously, I may have to compromise at times.

Hornady's are cheaper than Buffalo. I think both are good bullets. Got mine at http://www.cheaperthandirt.com .

Happy Hunting, Phil
