416 caliber, sorry.

I was flipping through a Gun Digest from 1995, and was looking at the list of Hornady bullets. I saw a picture of a 340 gr. boat tail, and since they aren't made anymore, I was wondering if anybody used these on game, what the BC was, etc. Was there not enough demand for this bullet? Seems to me it would be a good choice for elk and moose hunting.

Nobody heard of this bullet? Did it ever make it too full scale production?

Tod,
Email steve at hornady.com. He'll answer is a couple days. I would be interested, too

I e~mailed him, I will post his response when I get it.

Well, I finally heard back from Hornady. Not bad, it's only been 6 weeks or so.

Here's what they said :

---

The bullet was never released to the public. We sent out samples and got mixed results so the bullet was not produced.

And there you go, another solved mystery.

That is a pity actually, any chance more interest might be around now due to the profliferation of CZ's weapon of mass destruction the CZ 550 in .416 Rigby at a great price ??
