Never have liked the plastic duncecap on a rifle round.

I’ve used Hornady for years; good shooting ammo.

O-give me a break.

Heck. I use FMJ boat tail bullets for long range accuracy. I use polycarbonate tipped bullets for A ) expansion while hunting or B) to use pointed bullets in tubular magazine lever rifles for accuracy and expansion.

BTW love the accuracy of Hornady Leverevoluton .45-70 loads in the Marlin Guide Gun.

The ELD match is the only bullet I use anymore. I can use it for long range shooting and because of the polymer tip I can use it for hunting is well. Currently, I shoot a 7 inch group at 1500 yards (1/2” MOA)with them. Last year, I harvested a bull moose here in Alaska at 813 yards, that’s about a half mile! The problem for me with normal bullets is that the meplat (bullet tip) is not perfect. I found myself having a grind them flat to make them all the same but I know that I am changing to some degree the ballistics coefficients of a bullet. Most shooters wouldn’t know the difference but when you’re throwing ultra long-range like I do it’s certainly does. Every meplat is perfect with the ELD because it is a polymer. Not the kind a polymer that will melt in flight over long distance however!
