    Interesting to see how they perform on game, I'm picking no real difference.

    I’m assuming you’re in Michigan… this is probably a longshot but is there any way that you can demonstrate the expansion on these new Hornady bullets? Maybe shoot some milk jugs full of water? I would be really keen to see how these bullets do a longer range. Say 400 to 500 yards.

    It’s just the GMX with the “heat shield tip” or a higher temp resistance polymer.

    This was a .264 120gr GMX base of the neck 280m

    I read that comment as sarcasm, cant imagine that being a cull stag personally looks like the crème of the crop for farmed/trophy stags
