Need a 300 grainer :)
Took them long enough...
I thought they were suspending all development and some bullets production to keep up with demand of the most popular projectiles.
Something smells funny.
they look good, $50USD for 100, might be about $1 a pill here so a very affordable alternative

That'll make a mess
Smells like a large development/supply contract doesnt itQuote:

Hornady was suspending their less popular product till January 2014 if I remember well. That means in 3 months time they will be on full run of most stuff...
Smell maybe funny, but funny GOOD, not bad ! The 300gr Berger is working fine in my 338 FX but i will be soooo keen to try them.
Ive seen enough deer shot with rabbit guns "7mm mags, 162gr a-max" to know they should be the cats pissflaps at making HOLES.
Im waiting for Steve Collings to reply to my e-mail
Im sure in there statement on their site they stated they were stopping development and less popular production to meet demand.
I have been wrong before but Im pretty sure of the above.
Great news! I abolutely love Amax. I want to sleep on a waterbed filled with Amax!
Shit they must breed em tough out your way!Quote:

52 g in the 22-250 140 in 6,5 162 in 7mm mag and 285 in 338
There is a god,the Amax god!
I just got confirmation from steve that they will be getting them in but as Hornady are planning on doing the production 20th january, we wont be seeing them before march

Their BC may not fanciest around, but the 285 Match has shot well way out past 2000 so you would like to think the tip would only make things better :)
The Amax has the reputation, in this country at least, of being a very capable hunting projectile hopefully these will continue that.
Will be anxious to hear of your experience with them. They might very well be my next bullet. Should make my 338 a little more useful that!
Might have too have a play with them in my 338 Norma Magnum.Quote:

Are we going to get a video demo on one hitting a Xmas goat Greg?Quote:
