Thread: 7-08 rem & 162gr Amax?

i am looking for a load if anyone is using this combo,it will be flying out of a tikka t3! OAL is no issue as i'm using ai mags,cheers

Will struggle to stablise from the 9.5 twist at 708 velocitys. May be worth a try tho.

Got them shooting great in a sako 75 using 2209. Think it was the start load.

if they don't shoot well, I will buy your left overs

I see the production of the 162 amax and a lot of Hornadys other high BC bullets has been suspended. Id say it will be a fair while before we get to see them back down here, so it might not be the best bullet to do your load work with unless you have a stockpile of them.

I had doubts over this initially but its on the hornady web site now. I can see more Berger bullets in my future.

And there's a zillion guys preaching today that the world is going to end, and that I will go to heaven. That's bullshit to me too, unless I arrive there safely one day. Then I might be convinced.
