[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 83224, member: 8947"] been away on work. That is really cool. I have a bunch of the old gen 162gr 7mm Amax and they are super long too. Yes, the orig 6.5 140gr Amax has a Hornady print BC of over 0.6. That means real world BC would be way higher. Just look at the length. The 240gr 30cal MK is the same length (pretty close anyways). Back up two calibres and this thing should fly really flat. why they changed to the stubbies they have now, who knows. maybe just too hard to make consistently. Anyways, the 140gr Amax of today is still shorter then the SST of today. Pity. Is anyone at Hornady listening????? As to the SST being explosive, not. They are no different then the Interlocks that have worked for the last how many decades? Just keep impact velocities below 3000fps and they will work great. Jerry [/QUOTE]
