[QUOTE="Ridgerunner665, post: 666134, member: 12660"] Some 168 grain bullets will make it to 1,000 when started at 2,550 fps...others will not, the 168 SMK (the bullet that gave all 168 grain bullets their bad reputation) will not...its all in the ballistic coefficient of a particular bullet. I have had some success with Nosler 168 Ballistic Tips at 2,600 fps muzzle velocity (thats a very hot load in a 20" barrel, its hard on the brass)...I have not used the Hornady A-max except for the 208 grain. You'll be darn lucky if you can get 2,550 fps from that barrel (I had one of those rifles)...2,520 was about all it wanted to produce. [/QUOTE]
