The main reason for not considering the Hornady LE is based on internet information. Lots of reading turned up lots of reviews that say It doesn't work well in 94 Winchesters. Some rave about it's accuracy in the old "cowboy" gun, most say It is inconsistant at best.
While I am in Missouri, the area I hunt is in the Northern flatlands, not the Ozark hills. I have options of Ozark style woodlands around Thomas Hill lake, and open fields in surrounding areas where 200+ yard shots are not uncommon. My Remington 700 in 7MM Rem. Mag has done fine in the woods as well as the open fields, but I thought why not something else in the tight shooting places. I've also used a G2 'tender Super14 in 35 Remington, and now have the option of a NEF Handi Rifle in 500 S&W Mag.
Do't they say variety is the spice of life?
