Hunting & Fishing Hornady 168gr TAP for hunting?

Re: Hornady 168gr TAP for hunting?

from what I understand its the same bullet. I have heard they are GTG for deer, and then again too, I have heard they werent.

I know someone personally that has done good with them on whitetails.

So if I decipher your reply correctly, you're saying the A-Max hasn't been proven to be an effective bullet?

I think TAP is loaded with the BTHP and the AMAX. If you hunt with it consider it suitable on the same game you would use a Nosler BT on. You'll be fine, I among others here have smacked a few critters with the amax (whitetails) no prb's.

Would love to hunt hogs down there. You are blessed with a hog target area..

Yep as long as its not your land that the hogs are tearing up, otherwise its not good at all.......

We have our own problems with the damn wolves that the Fish and Game thought were so important to RE-INTRODUCE. They did it in the eastern part of MT under cover. Now you can't find a game animal to hunt. Hell even the turkeys are rare in that part..
