Yes sir, so I'm good to go at said starting loading?

So I found a page it seems super low. I know the bullet is longer so does this hold true. http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/attachments/f28/5552d1326313832-178gr-amax-308-load-data-help-hornady.jpg

Anyone got the numbers for the 178amax?

That's pricey I can get that for 27, and I get 4064 25

Bought 300 rounds of 178 amax 75 bucks yippy

Do you end up buying some? I may buy some to try them out they said they have the same BC as smk

Apparently someone stole their prototype titanium bcg from shot show booth. Just helping spread the word. I also shared this on the forums fb.

agreed I noticed some on my barrel and went upon my business shooting tax at 800m

No, they said they get the bullets from a contractor the makes m118lr ammo for the military

Don't mind the short operator there but I got a new range bag/Wilderness bug out bag.

That's good either way I loaded my recent rounds in groups by weight haha

So I shouldn't expect something from match stuff like sierra or amax

Going to be making some amax tommorw morning.

Is a variances of 149.1 to 150.2 normal. Just got. Little bored an decided to weigh some projos is all. The projo is the hornady 150fmjbt

No I haven't yet I'm hesitant. From another forum. People said they are good blasting ammo, with ok accuracies I can try to find link if you would like

People say there good but idk. He'll of a deal the blems go for 110/500

65b?

Yeah I had loads up to 43 grains but they ended up low of the target at 300 lmao. I'm going to load them up again maybe head out tommorow and shoot. Cold as poop tho for me any ways 30-40 degrees foggy as poop too

I ended up with 40 grains that did pretty well the picture of it is on my other thread. But only got that because the rest of my loads went out the window because we went to 300 . Gonna redo my testing

Thanks for the info papa 98 (lol) I was aware of the higher BC but they didn't have any:(

Thought I start this because I always find my self in the reloading store and I'm to impatient to order something. If anything maybe merge with what did you get in the mail today? If not, keep it seperate. Here is what I splurged on today. Only thing that throws me off a bit is that 1-10 twist on the 178. Is that a guide line? Orrr?

I'll give that a shot I know Ivery read that somewhere before

Shoot small miss small madafaka

I understand what you are saying and I accept this advice. I'm trying to gain knowledge. I'm keeping my self busy with lots of reading about this hobby. I for see dumping lots o money into rifles and reloading stuff. Yeah most likely I wouldn't need a bullet pointer but that's all you had to say. I get Good projos like the smks and the meplates are not uniform. I know someone here reccomend a meplate trimmer at some point so I asked everyone's opinion and I appreciate yours. And will take that process and won't move up in yardage until I produce said grouping. It's only logical. just get over excited like a kid at a candy store

Do you guys believe these are worth while investments? I want the meplate trimmer because from my experience the smk is very in consisten. This could help with o.a.l consistancy. Any advantages to the pointer?
