Hornady FMJ
Has anyone used the new flat nosed steel jacketed FMJs from Hornady?

I've used the old steel jacketed bullets with good luck, just wondering if these are comparable.

Watch "Tracks Across Africa"....Craig Boddington uses/recommends them...but Hornady is a sponsor too. That being said, I understand from a couple of folks that the NEW ones are quite good fwiw.

i have hunted with craig and also with a few other guys of late that have wanted to "try" these out ...the performance was good on elephant brain shots , in two of the cases the elphant did not go down but it was a result of bullet placement not performance , we recovered the bulletts in the neck and in one case between the shoulders , that sid they were zambezi valley bulls and so not very large nevertheless good penetration and also no deformities , so they get thumbs up thumb
