Anyone loading Hawk 200gr .358 bullets?

[bdbrown66]

I'm thinking of trying either the RT (Round Tip) or FP (Flat Point) in my Henry .360 Buckhammer. I've currently started working up a load with the 200gr Hornady RN, but I've read that the Hawk is a softer bullet. Just wondering if that might be a better option for the 2200-2400 fps deer loads I'm planning.

Anyone have any feedback? TIA.

Which ever bullet you choose, it would be wise to water jug test it for expansion. The Speer #11 manual shows data for the .357 diameter handgun bullets. They would expand but accuracy would be shakey I would imagine.

These are .358 bullets, which is the nominal diameter for .35 cal rifle. Why would accuracy be shaky?

I was referring to the bullets shown in that manual I referenced. Read my post again.
