Title: 200gr hollow points - Nosler or Hornady
Post by: cwall64 on March 07 2015 10:04:35 AM MST
Anybody done any comparisons on these two bullets?  I wish Nosler sold in 100ct like Hornady, I guess 250ct is not too much and who can't use extra bullets!!!  Mainly for ferrel hogs, I have always used a S&W model 29 with a 8 3/8" barrel, but I thought I might try out the G20.  I know a lot of folks like the hardcast bullets, but the hogs where I am hunting typically are not the huge ones and the 44 Mag 240gr HP takes them down very nicely at 75 yards or so.

The Hornady is a little tougher bullet and doesn't expand quite as fast as the Nosler...if It were me I'd use the Hornady for hogs.  I have used the Hornady XTP on Deer.

Hornady does sell a HAP version of their bullet that is bulk and doesn't have the segmented cuts.

I did buy 500 of the 180gr HAP, but have yet to load them and test...
