What's the difference between the "old" FMJ 500gr Hornady and the newer style? Apparently the jacket used to be steel? What is it made of now? What is the thickness of these jackets (old and new)? What about the new 500gr RN "Interbond" that has just come out? Has anyone seen or used these yet in the field? I imagine they are an improvement over the older Interlock design? Thanks  | ||

Picked up some older 458 bullets at a gun show today. I was wondering if they should be hoarded or shot for plinkers? Hornady 500gr. FMJ (steel)#4507 Remington 510gr. Soft Point #B22910 (.457) Barnes 400gr. Semi-Spitzer Soft Point (45-70) Does Hornady still use steel jackets for their FMJ soilds? The Remingtons show more lead tham a Hornady SP, I am guessing that these are the early Winnie bullets. What is the top useful velocity for the Barnes bullets? Hog Killer | |||

Quote: The Hornady #4507 where the standard the other "solids" of thier day where compared to. They are about equal to the same weight and caliber of Woodleighs. They are VERY good bullets for DG (read Elephant, Cape Buffalo, etc.). How many do you have? Would you be interested in selling them? Better to hoard them though, I would :-) Oh, and no Hornady doesn't use steel jackets any more, that is the reason for the current (new) solid bullet design. Roi | |||

Hord those old FMJ Hornadys. They were as good as anything and better than most until the monometal bullets came on and never saw any failures in .458 dia. Probably in .460 Weatherby there may have been as I had them in .378 Weatherby full power loads with the .375 dia steel jacket Hornadys. I am sure they won't disappoint, should be as good as Woodleighs. | |||
