I'd claim false advertising. The box clearly states accurate and deadly !!
Now that's funny. Laughing from the dentist chair. Numb laughing is difficult.
Unbelievably i am also numb at the dentist.
To the high and mighty fellas that don’t ever make mistakes...
Yeah my bad on running out of ammo, thought I had a couple more boxes in the safe. Guess I’m a lesser man for not checking my ammo stash daily. Thanks to my buddy 170512 for throwing me under the bus.
I actually shot 3 (I prefer to fill my freezer in 1 hunt as opposed to training the deer over the course of 3 weeks of hunting). Admittedly made a less than ideal shot on the first, could tell she was running pretty hard. Dropped the second. Third crashed and fell just inside the woods. So I go pick up the one in the field and start tracking the first. Find blood and had good blood for 150yds. Blood runs out, look around for 1.5 hrs in the thick stuff with no luck. Head back and find the 3rd deer and she’s already had some hungry visitors.
So am I a jackass and irresponsible hunter? Maybe. Are you making assumptions about a person you don’t know while going on limited details from a second hand retelling of a story? Definitely.
Anyway, as stated, would like to find more of the same Hornady ammo. It is my preferred ammo and I’d rather not have to sight the gun this late in the season if I don’t have to.

Multiple folks have stepped up and offered ammo, for free, and it's all being shot down(pun intended) because it's not the type you want. That's probably where the attitudes and responses are coming from. When someone comes on here asking for help, but then proceeds to be picky about the help offered, it makes folks a little cranky.
Well, the post was for a specific brand, model and type of ammo...and in a tight local and time frame. Was a longshot. Have been appreciative to all who offered and wish I'd been closer to the one guy who was 2+ hours away with exactly what was needed. Specificity was there. Needed one thing, close by and right then. Thanks to all who tried to help.
