Jim MoseleyRe: 840 yd Shot- AT-maxSo far they seem to fragment as well or better than the polymer tipped. They do live up to the BC of .725 which is incredible and that could be due the extended length of the bullet. Still packing a 1,000 lbs of energy at 1200 yds! My chart is in the truck, but I think the bullet is still moving a 1500 fps. Going to set up beyond 1000 yds next week. Hope your project goings well. |

jasonRe: 840 yd Shot- AT-maxHi Jim. I'm not sure iv got the story right... but these projectiles are an old edition of the amax arnt they? Or are you replacing the tips? The boost in b.c is massive. Your talking 162 7mm arnt you? |

Jim MoseleyRe: 840 yd Shot- AT-maxJasonThese are the old version of the A-max which I think were made around 2005-2006. They were called "National Match" and they are 162 grs/7mm. The stated bc of .725 matches up to my drop charts. I purchase 300 bullets from a member of our shooting club. He shot competition for years and injured his shoulder so he down sized to the 6ppc. I would love to see Hornady make another large run of these bullets even if the cost were high. I am "not" replacing the tips! |
