Hornady Hap Bullets - How Accurate?

[BigDave]

I'm about to order some reloading supplies for 38 Super. I'm going to be shooting a Bianchi load at ~130 PF. Does anyone have experience with either the 121 gr or 125 gr .356 HAP bullets? They seem like one of the better deals in a JHP bullet.

BTW - the barrel is a 6" Kart, .355 if that makes a difference.

Dave, I would buy a K of each, load them up and see what happens. Barrels usually like one bullet weight better than the other, it could be dramatic, or really close on the bullets. Every time I work up a load on a new barrel I get my eyes opened. Kart might have some info on this as well. Good luck with your new gun! DougC

montana gold JHPs shoot as good as the hornadys in several guns of mine

Both the 121 and 125gr HAPs are the most accurate bullets I've shot in my supers. MG JHPs come close and I've heard XTPs might be a tiny bit better (though Hornady says the HAP is an XTP without the expansion cuts).

I have great experience with the 125 HAP, my choise for precision loads. (shuemann barrel)

Another vote for the 125 HAP's. All I have used since switching to Open.
