Hornady 75 grain Amax

[andybrock]

How big are your fox's?

It’s a confidence thing with me, I’ve used amax for years, accurate in my my guns and hit like a sledge hammer, only runners I’ve had was down to me.

25 grn N140 in mine. Rem 7.5 primers. Lapua match cases. 26" 1:8.
I found that terminally A max behaved the same way as V max. Good bullet if your barrel likes them.

Now that is a good reason

This’ll upset a few people then, old and new together. 222 loaded with a 73gr ELDM.

If it works for you then it doesn’t matter who it upsets.

What's that load spec and barrel twist?

What's that load spec and barrel twist?

It’s a 1:8 I had fitted to a Tikka 590 action, 21.2gr (or thereabouts of n135) giving 2,730fps.

That's not to shabby velocity wise. It's probably still north of 2500@200yds??
Efficient on that charge weight too.

I have a Howa 1500 1:8 twist currently running 55gr hornady v max, im just starting to reload my own brass and have been recommended Hogdons CFE223.
Do you have any thoughts on that powder
