Used Hot Cors in a 300 Win Mag, and in a Swede 6.5x55. The plain base 180 HC in the 300 shot like a match bullet and was not load picky. Hunted/killed a ton of deer with the Swede using the 120 264 HC. Never had one go more than 30 yds from where shot, and a handful drop in their tracks. I am a big fan of their HC bullets.
