It's not in the 10th edition either but they do list a 60gr BT bullet.How long has that bullet been around? Is it a new production? I have the Hornady 9th Edition and it's not listed in it.
I have the hornady 10th addition and it isnt listed there either. I am going to go with the Data off of Hogdon's web site which is for a 62 GR. SFT SCIRHow long has that bullet been around? Is it a new production? I have the Hornady 9th Edition and it's not listed in it.
Thanks Mark at least now I know I am not crazy! Looks to me like a good bullet for the price point no?I talked to Hornady about this bullet. Was told it was a special order...but was refused/cancelled too late to stop. Mid-South wanted it...so they still make it. Was also told it will probably be added to the normal production some time this year. We'll see.
The design is a closed /metal base (has a rather long BT design) with a open tip. The engineer called it a match type bullet. I seat it just to the cannelure..no crimp.
It shoots very well for me and I load it 24.2 gr of Tac. It fits the mag just fine. I'll try it out to 400 yds this summer...or at least try.

I did right off the bat ... the numbers man just had a bad night...Did anyone else notice that the 250 ct packs are cheaper per bullet than the 500 ct packs?
That's where I saw that sucker, on Mid South's web. Now that fits. Here is the Lil' bugger. I would do, as suggested, treat it like a similar bullet. Nope, I never caught the price difference on 250 and 500 count per bullet.Mid-South wanted it...so they still make it. Was also told it will probably be added to the normal production some time this year. We'll see.
I have a couple of pounds of H335 as well and I will try that too. I try to keep the same powder in my powder drop as its a pain in the ass to take it all apart and clean it every time you switch powders.Purchased these several times. The math is a bit backwards, isn't it??
Not in front of my notes, but I think I used 24.5g H335 with the 62 hornady hp. My rig loves 'em.

Use the 60gr. data in the manual. If you go to Hornady's web site you can download a pdf with the data that includes the 62gr. fmj and they added a few extra powders to.Ok so I cant find reloading data for this bullet in either the Hornady manual, Hogdon manual or Lyman manual anyone have any suggestions?
