Are they accurate?
I'm curious for 2 reasons.
1) Set up my Ballistic Calculator app
2) Researching minimum expansion velocity.
I've been trying out the Hornady 165 grain GMX in my new AR10.
It's says 2610 for on the box.
I was looking at an article on Chuck Hawks website from 2009. It started that 2700 fps at the target gives the best expansion. I'm not even turning that at the muzzle.
My furthest shots been about 100 yds. It was on a pig, in the shoulder. Got a pass through and it looked like a small hole in and a small hole out.
Same with another pig I shot about 75 yds and 3 Raccoons.
They all died so the bullet did its job.
I like the shoulder shot and small exit cause it doesn't ruin much meat.
My concern is if it'll still work (kill) past 200 yds....
