    Hornady .338 Amax bullet?

    I heard that Hornady was making a 250 grain Amax for .338 caliber. Looked at the Hornday website and could not find anything. Does anyone have any info? Thanks

    300 Whisper viht 133/208 a-max

    I never tried the 133 n a whisper until today, as I always used faster powders upon the reccomendation of everyone I asked. I was fooling around with my new whisper and since I already had it the measure decided to give the 133 a try. A little QL estimation and I decided to try 10gr. I hit...

    I know there are guys awaiting (myself included) these from the group buy. Midway has them in stock for 28.99 per 100, cheaper than, Wideners, Natchez, and PV, none of which have any in stock. Snatch em up if you need them.

    208 AMAX in 308Win

    I have a box of 208 Amax sitting around and I would like to work up a load for my 308. The twist in my tube is 11.25 at 24 inches. With that info where do I start? My normal load is 175grn SMK with 42grns of Varget .018 off the lands. Can I stay with varget, will the 11.25 stabilize the 208 and...

    .308 168 AMAX and Vihtavuori Powders?

    Anyone using this combo? I want to save whats left of my Varget for the 175 SMK's, so I'm thinking of using Vhita for the 168 AMAX's. Not sure which one to go with though, N140 or N150. I've read a few other people here are using N150 as a Varget replacement.

    7 Twist Barrel and 75 Amax

    I recently purchased a Savage LRPV in .223 with 7 twist barrel. I am having problems finding a powder that the gun likes. I have tried different powders, Varget, RL-15, TAC with no luck. Is there anyone shooting the 75 Amax with the 7 twist? If so (1) Do the 75's in said twist like fast or slow...

    308 155 Amax, anyone loading them?

    I wanted to know if anyone was getting good results from the 155's. At 100yards, and out to a 1k. I have been shooting the 168 Amax with good results, but they are hard to find and i am looking for extra speed for longer range, or should I just use the Lapua 155's. The barrel is 1 in 12 twist...

    178 AMAX / RL22

    I picked up some 178 AMAX's and all I had on hand was some RL22. The RL22 works great the the 190SMK's as my "go to" combo. I used the load data in my manual for the 180. I loaded up 25 total 5 round loads. Started at 57.0gr and worked up to 59.5 (my charge for the 190s). I did some research and...

    6.5CM and 140gr A-Max

    I picked up some 140gr a-max for my 6.5 creedmoor. The box of bullets says for 7.5 twist. Will my 8 twist shoot them. I dont think it will be any trouble, but i paid a pretty penny for these bullets and i can take them back and trade them for some sierra 123's if i dont open the box. What do you...

    208 Amax's or 210 bergers in 308

    Hey, I have gone through the 308 load thread and haven't really found much there. Wondering if anyone has had decent luck with either the 208's or 210's out of a 308. I have a 1-10 twist rock creek at 22 inches and currently run 175 bergers out of it. Not even really sure if its worth it, but...

    243 win + 105 AMAX + Varget

    My Hornady manual does not give a listing for Varget. While Sierra has a listing for a 107 grain pill and the hodgen site lists 31 to 33 grains as low and high loadings for an AMAX I was hoping for any input from members running this combo. Primers are WLR, brass for now is winchester but I...

    .308 155 AMax Shooters....jump or jam?

    Gents, For those of you shooting the 155 Amax in your .308's, are you jumping them, jamming them, or what? Some of the info I have found so far seems to indicate that unlike say, the SMK, they are not very jump tolerate. If you have any advice about your seating depths, would be appreciated...
