Re: New-for-2018- Hornady-DGX---bonded bullet

Quote:

I used a .375", 300 grain DGX of original vintage on a Siberian brown bear. He was about 20 feet away and closing when I hit him. It went in on the inside of the right shoulder and crossed him completely to exit the hip. So it did the job. The Hornady dangerous game bullets are electroplated with 50 thousandths of an inch of copper over a steel jacket. I find the copper fouling with these bullets to be severe. The Woodleighs', with their gilding metal jacket cover, are much less prone to foul barrels than the Hornadys'. I don't like copper jacketed bullets because of this; I much prefer gilding metal for a jacket.




Agree with the above..and I as well..
