Hornady claim G1 0.625. Litz initially said 0.617 but later revised 0.613. I use 0.613 for creating drop charts & find it pretty accurate predictor.
I looked in the other Nathan Fs books to find that bit....didnt see the 162 mentioned sorry
So, who has got a supply of 168 Amax's stashed away??
Recently bought a Barnard with a 284 Winchester barrael and all the load data is for the now obselete 7mm Amax's.
Would love to buy some if I can get 5 - 6 boxes of them?

Pretty amazing that he doesn't cover one of the most popular projectiles around.
Shooter which list Hornady's data has it as G1 0.625.
Litz's listing in Shooter is G1 0.599 and G7 0.307.
I would use @chainsaw number as it sounds like he has verified?

Haha - like hen's teeth, those who have a few are likely to hang onto them. There's the new Hornady 162 ELDx , or Sierra 160gn TMK's which have BC G1 of 0.6.
A G7 of .307 for the 162 Amax works well for me, im still working my way thru my last 500
Yes, I bought some Lapua scenars to start doing some testing with.
Too much bad press on the ELD-M's to waste good barrels on. I'll either stick with SMK's or Lapua's then.
Hi Bully,
Yes my bad, meant 162's.
PM inbound.
Well these Eldx are well worth investing in imo. Bloody accurate as f.
