Hornady GMX

[Pathfinder76]

When are they going to offer more options?

[bulletman]

Yes, the Hornady GMX line is rather ''limited''. However, when you look at the entire Hornady lineup I'm pretty sure there is a bullet for just about everything on the planet. Just think back 50 years! The bullet selection these days is absolutely mind boggling!

[Pathfinder76]

No doubt. It will drive a person like me crazy with the options out there!

I would love a 162 7mm GMX though!

Would be nice if Hornady offered a toilet paper bullet as well.

If I remember correctly Chuck, you were the one who posted that awesome group with 150 Barnes Triple shocks! I'm pretty sure that any animal that has the misfortune of coming across you in their daily routine would not be long for this world! Freezer time! They won't realize you're not using a 162 GMX.

Agreed and the 150 TSX is getting the nod for the fall.

I recently talked to a guy who said the worst day in his life was when he got talked into buying some GMX's for a grizzly hunt (30/06). He wounded and lost one bear and the one he got was hit multiple times. He said expansion appeared to be minimal. He will not be a repeat customer and is switching back to conventional Hornady bullets which have worked well for him. Leeper

I shot a whitetail doe at about about 339 yards with a GMX from a 270.

Complete pass through. Exit hole was large. Doe was on the run and flipped head over ass when hit and died on the spot (spine)

Wow, a 339 running shot? On a doe? That's ummmm... Impressive? Lol something seems a little over exaggerated but you never know lol, so you had enough time to range it too while it was running?

If expansion was poor, I would be interested to know which bullet weight he chose. From what I have seen, the monometal bullets perform best at higher velocities, and choosing heavier bullets results in less velocity. Some people still insist on using heavy bullet weights, and with the monometal bullets, it's often a disadvantage.

As well, I do wonder about his shooting,bullets seem to get the blame when animals are lost, and usually the real cause is that the bullet isn't placed where it needs to be.

Sounds to me like his hunt should have been over with the wounding of the first bear.
