A-Tips

Can't wait. Just starting a new build and looking at the 375s and 416s. I really would like to know what the prices will be.
How sweet the .284s would be in a new 7 PRC... But I better not get ahead of myself I just today took delivery of my 300 PRC from Greg Young.
There's always going to be the next best thing...having said that...
Is this being used in .308 commercial loads?

Yes i also want to see how the .375's work past 2500 yards, Bc looks good and with my rifle i would expect to see close to 2975 FPS or so.

By that I assume you mean factory ammo. I read that Hornady only intends to sell A-Tips for handloading.
They are on sale at Precision Reloading.
Now if you put those in one of the new super speed rifles @THEIS is making.
The 7mm Leonidas would be just the ticket.
By any chance, does anyone know the length of the 375s? I doubt it because they are so new but figured I would ask.
They haven't even finalized the 375 or 416 yet so even the weights may change slightly. I love Hornady bullets but this seems to be pre SHOT hype, stirring the industry to get as much excitement as possible
One cool thing to note with the Hornady doing radar testing there isn’t a lot of lies around the published G1 spec. I plugged in some values for the 250gr A-tip in the 4dof program, set everything equal and used the published G1 in FFS, the two programs lined up at 2200yards within 0.6moa of each other. I can push the 230 at 3200fps from my Norma improved, this should be a fun deal. I need to finalize a load and see where it rings out. They did shoot a 1” group with an 8 grain spread in powder charge for a quick ladder to see where they pressure up at.

I'm thinking a hair better than the 1500 183 SMK's I still gotta burn through ?
My wild guess would be G1 of .710 or better.
Trying to decide on twist rate for a 375 EnABELR and I’ll want to shoot these and 350-400gr solids. Any thoughts on twist that can handle both?
will be interesting if they can hold up in an 8 twist. The 180 had challenges in 8 twist above 3100 FPS in some cases.
The minimum twist isn’t listed for the 375s. But, the minimum twist for the 250gn 308 cal is 8.5.
so, I’m confident the 375s will be fine in my 7.5 twist.
I can’t wait. It’s gonna be Stella got her splash back!
Cheers
Has anyone heard anything on these yet?
Midway is showing they are Overdue but I'm sure they just do that to keep the pre-orders filled up so they ship as soon as they get in.

Midway is showing them in stock at the moment....ships tomorrow. If you plan on getting 1000...you better hurry...only 3 in stock
I've been shooting those for a couple months now. Great bullet. I was referring to the new offerings. 375cal 390gr in particular.
