I have used the Hornady 174 grain RNSP extensively on whitetail deer from my Ruger #1 in .303 British.
Muzzle velocity is 2430 fps over my chronograph.
Ranges between 20-200 yards.
They expand well but not excessively so and penetrate well. I have never recovered one from a deer as the have all completely passed though.
Have you ever miked those 174 bullets? IIRC the spec are .312?
Yes, the Hornady .303 bullets measure .312” diameter.
