The HAP is made for competition and accuracy, not made to expand. I use them in my 40 major class loads and I would think they'd be a great, deep penetration round loaded on the warm side in 10mm for carrying in bear country.
@redteam9881 now granted, they don't expand and I don't know how they would compare to a good hard cast. A 200gr hard cast gas check from Montana Bullet Works on top of a stiff load of AA#9 is my go to bear country 10mm load.
@@jjgriffin3275I just got some for my 10mm. Thanks for sharing this. Bet it would be good saboted in a 45 smokeless muzzleloaders. I'm getting just over 2600 fps w sabots w a 200 gr sst. Buddy uses 200xtp. It absolutely wrecks deer

Should make a great Bear load for heavy game HAP bullets . Good Penetration!
