[QUOTE="Shane1, post: 897463, member: 30532"] If there anything like the 208g version they should do great. I don't understand why hornady likes to be second behind berger.they should have bumped it to 300g and made something really special.although the 285bthp worked well for me accuracy wise and I'm sure the tooling must be the same? Only reason I can think they didn't make it a little heavier. A 300 amax you would think would be above that .8 bc . Would make for one bad amax. I'm thinking they'll work great at longer range maybe a tad soft for close shoulder shots on big animals. The 208 version never let me down. Problem for me is the big berger shoots so good in my gun I have no advantage shooting the amax. I was hoping like the 30 cal offerings the price would be cheaper, in 33 cal they're about the same as anything else. I'm eagerly waiting for the 300g nosler custom comp at 47 per 100. That will be a good enough price break for me to save the bergers for serious stuff and practice with them if they shoot well but at that price I'm sure they'll be hard to find. Let us know how to the big amax works out. [/QUOTE]
