[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 152653, member: 12"] [b]Re: 208 Amax\'s and tight bores do not mix[/b] By all indications it is a great bullet and Hornady is taking steps to put out a high quality product. that is why it was a surprise to have one gun shooting in the .5 at 1k and the other 1 MOA. Only difference was bore diameter. Hornady engineers are working with the shooters and testing this themselves to see what is the issue. Lapping increased the bore diameter and the second gun is not shooting in the .5 range at 1k. This was confirmed with another tight bore barrel, so the next step is a barrel with the pure .308 land to groove. Perfect example of why not every bullet shoots in every gun and why a good load for someone might be overpressure or terrible load for the next guy. Someone elses load "indicates" a powder and range of weight charges, bullet, primer combo for you to test only. BH [/QUOTE]
