Depends on the game animal hunted. If deer, then the Hornady. If elk, moose and grizz then the Speer (for the deeper penetration). But I'm sure the Hornady would do a fine job also.

My experience differs from yours. This year I went on the same safari for approx the same species with the same rifle. The only difference was instead of the 350gr Hornady, I loaded the 350gr Speer. The end result was zero recovered bullets (all clean pass throughs). All game animals still...

The 180gr cup and core bullet has probably been responsible for more big game kills than any other bullet (save the 170gr from the .30-30).

Gerry, Agreed. I'm a fan of using standard cup and core bullets in non-magnums. Just don't think they're required, unless hunting DG. This is the only bullet I will use in my '06. Averaging about 75% weight retention in my experience, it would make a great elk and even moose bullet.

These bullets were recovered from Eland, Oryx and Red Stag. Impact ranges were from 30 to 70 yards. All shots were broadside in the heart lung area. Bullets recovered from the Oryx and Red Stag were recovered right under the hide on off side (bulges were noticeable). However they didn't quite...
