Re: Where have all the Hornady 9.5mm 270 grain RN bullets gone?

Quote:

I now know that Hornady dropped that wonderful bullet .

I will be loading the Woodleigh SN RN in the 9.5x57MS/.375 Rimless 2 & 1/4" NE.

Are there any other bullet makes and types that would also be acceptable?

Hornady 270 grain Spire Point? Yes but it is on the lower threshold of expansion range in the 9,5 M/S.

Nosler 260 grain Accubond? No experience.

Hornady 220 grain Flat Point? Yes.

Speer 235 grain Flat Point? Excellent bullet at 9,5 velocities and sized down in 9,3x57.

Sako 270 grain Power Point? No epxerience.

Cheap assed Remington or Winchester 270 grain RN if I can find one? Wow...if you could. My dream is a .375 RN Core-Lokt for sizing down to 9,3x57. Win's, no experience.

The Kynoch web site shows a muzzle velocity of 2,150fps from a 25" Model 1910 rifle.
Would anyone like a touch more velocity, say 2,225 or 2,250 fps (for a 270 grain bullet)? That would stiffen recoil a tech; would it mess up your ability to use the sights too much.

Thanks!




You missed one...the Hornady 225 Spire Point, a AWESOME bullet in the 57 mm case.
