The Hornady Black 208 gr bullet is not a multi-purpose round, but it is one of the most accurate rounds in this caliber I have seen. It has a lower velocity which makes it good for silencers, and lowers the risk of over-penetration. The design of the bullet, including the AMP jacket, helps keep it accurate and consistent. The ammo you choose for self-defense needs to be consistent and reliable and you get both with Hornady’s Black AMAX ammo. Practice with the cheap stuff and train with the cheap stuff, but when the shot matters, don’t rely on the cheap stuff. Get something you know will hold up to the standards we should all expect for hunting and self-defense. Get Hornady Black 208.
