[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 282640, member: 313"] I've been fooling around with the 208 A-Max which I intend to use on whitetails. I believe the BC is .648 and should be good for the looooong shots. Yesterday I loaded up 99.0gr of Hodgdon 869 with a 215M primer. Shot a .55" (3 shot) group @ 200yds. Pressure seemed modest as bullet cruised along at 3,035 ft/sec. Not exactly neck breaking velocity but incredibly accurate. I'll load up some more and see how they shoot at 300yds. I'm also interested to see how an increase in charge weight affects velocity and accuracy. Currently shooting a 27" Broughton 5C. [/QUOTE]
