R FlowersHornady GMX on game?
Just wondering if anyone has shot game with the new Hornady GMX bullets yet?
I tried some in a 300 WSM yesterday at the range and the groups were outstanding. These bullets are new enough that I do not know anyone that has shot any game with them.
I was shooting the 165 grain GMX over H 4350 and got repeated 1/2 inch groups. I intend to load some up to try on deer, hogs, etc. but was just wondering if anyone had tried them yet.

Captain FinlanderI have not found the right combination yet but suspect it will perform on par with all the other monolithic bullets.

army aviatorI paid SST price for Bonded Core bullets but I received 165gr GMXs. Great buy. They sure are long. I think I will load them in 300WSM. They sure look deadly just sitting on my reloading bench.

Chris WhitmoyerMy wife used 150 gr GMX in her 308 this year. Shot a doe in the neck at 275 yards. Passed through leaving a nice 3/4" exit hole.
