I've heard many people on this sight RAVE about the 155gr AMAX. I was curious if the 168gr AMAX was just as good. I have my rifle set up for Sierra 168gr HPBT's and since the weight and BC are similar I figured the change in POI for the 2 rounds would be less than if I used the 155gr's. Let me know what you think, or what you have heard. T |
| According to Hornady's testing info there is a difference in fragmentation but I don't know if I would so far as to say it's significant but that's just me. I don't have the data book at home, I leant it to one of the guys at work but "if" I remember correctly the 155 was running about 45% fragmentation while the 168 was doing about 38%. I keep the T loaded with 168s and the A4 with 155s. I would like to tste some 178 but I only seen them offered in 300 WINMAG. BTW all of the TAPs in .308 will fragment out to 300 yards according to Hornady. |
| any info or pictures of the 178 A-MAX in balistic gelatin. this is what i am useing now and my gun loves this load and hates light bullets of allmost any make. i also like the 178 A-MAX as a long rang load so if it works for both than this would work great for me. thanks. |
DocGKR, thank you once again for another great comparison picture! |
