Hornady 200gr HAP bullet

[Alaska]

Anyone hunt with the Hornady 200gr HAP bullet in 10mm ?

Had a successful hunt with the 200 grain XTP, HAP bullet should also work.  Shot placement is everything!

I wouldn't think it would be a good choice as a hunting bullet. While it is a hollow point, it is not designed for controlled expansion and controlled expansion is a critical component in hollow point construction.

I will agree with James, the HAP bullet is strictly produced as a target bullet and is not designed to expand at all.
Very likely it will act more like an FMJ than a hollow point.  Expansion is always possible, it is a hollow point, but there will be nothing reliable about how the bullet reacts.  The XTP is designed to provide specific expansion and penetration, which I would trust more than the HAP bullet, especially the 200 gr. XTP.
