22 Caliber (224 Diameter) 55 Grain Hollow Point Boat Tail with Cannelure
https://www.hornady.com/bullets/rifle/2 ... 5-gr-hp#!/
Loading with 25gr of 2206H. Accurate out to 200 yards+. It certainly expands but tends to retain its shape better I reckon...
Havent fired at anything on 4 legs yet..... Thoughts?

i have a hornady classic press, dies and other gear and have no complaints . their primer tool also caters for lee and rcbs shell holders
hornady projectiles generally fly well , and are accurate

Bigish hole indeed... What did you hit it with, calibre and bullet?

Behind the shoulder chest shots with any decent 50gr or more bullet will anchor a goat to 150m. Their ribs are not that tough. But a shoulder shot or angling one...hmm
