    go to Hornady . com , the news is UP , basically by using a doppler radar , they found the bullets changed their BC quite a bit down range , they found out that the plastic tips on their bullets where melting at long range , and that changed the BC drastically .

    They are making a hunting version of the amax bullets , however , what they donot say is , if this is the case , why did they continue making and selling Amax bullets to people ?
