Talked with a Hornady bullet designer at NRA-2016-KY, about the (30-30) 160 gr FTX expansion vs BO fps.
He said it should expand well at 1300 fps impact due to the large cavity of the ballistic tip and its thin jacket.
That's what I wanted to hear, so this pill should be good at typical ranges for me in Georgia.
Also asked about resizing the 100 gr 32 cal XTP to 0.308" for BO fps, he said it would be more prone to failure at the cannelure,
otherwise should expanded as designed (magnum pistol fps).
Picked up half dozen new Sierra 135 gr Varmint hollow point samples to experiment with,
they look promising for BO, with BC 0.308 @ 1900 FPS.
