They are a good bullet, try some and see if your rifle likes them.

Re: Hornady Amax
I like the 168s, have not found the magic with 155s and have yet to try the 178s in my .308s.
Looking forward to trying them in .224 iterations.
Often less expensive than SMKs too!

Re: Hornady Amax
Simply put the .224 75AMAX, .243 105AMAX, .284 162AMAX are worth building rifles around. The .308 155, 168, 178 AMAXs are outstanding.

Re: Hornady Amax
The AMAXs are some of the best match bullets around. Less expensive then the Bergers, SMK and Lapuas and will shoot with if not surpass it's expensive brothers.

Re: Hornady Amax
I use the A-Max as much as I can. Priced right. not much work with the .30 208 A-Max but all others do great for me.
Note though. the others do also.

Re: Hornady Amax
WOW, That is a great review!
I'm wanting to load them for my .243, I currently shoot their 95gr sst and really like them. I would also like to load them for my 300wsm and I currently shot 180gr accubonds. I have noticed they are very reasonably priced. Great, I'll get some ordered! Thanks, Ty

Are you jumping or just off the lands?
155's in my .308 have been 'so so' but that's all I've tried so far. And not a complete workup either but

Re: Hornady Amax
I shoot 178's from my 30-06, they do great touching the lands. The chamber is a tight custom chamber, built on a k98 action with as much accuracy work as a 98 is capable of.
They shoot well under MOA, usually around 1/2 MOA when I do my part.
My dad shoots the 155's from his 308, same results.

Re: Hornady Amax
Though expensive, I shoot the 750gr A Max exclusively in my 50 BMG and 168's in my .30's. They get the job done.

Re: Hornady Amax
I'm about .030 off the lands in my 7WSM and it shoots bugholes. And if my numbers are correct, they are smoking the 180gr Bergers at long ranges.
