460 SW 200gr flex tip

[hermhunt]

I been playing with a 20in katahdin 460 barrel. Unlike a lot I have read mine shoots just about ever thing good. That said never seen a rifle have as much difference in impacts for different bullets weights. My real question is at the velocities a rifle gets, will the 200gr flex tip hold together on deer? Also anyone know what powders hornady is loading these with?

Can't tell ya how well they'll hold up at rifle velocities on deer, specially close, but it's made for revolver muzzle velocities up to 2200fps according to the Hornady 8th bullet information. In my 20" H&R I get nearly 2900fps with the 200gr factory ammo, a bit over their velocity range!

I think I answered my own question. Called hornady and was told the same thing 2200 max. Also shot one in to the sand bank behind the range looks like it turned to dust.

I use the ftx bullets in my 30_30, and they work phenominal on deer.
