Because those are "drawings" not engineering prints I wouldn't go by the pictures.Like the looks of the match bullets. Is it just me or do the bearing surfaces on the x bullets look fairly long?

Bullets look good, I especially like the 143gr 6.5 offering. Looking forward to Litz measurements on these.

Cheap is nice but it doesn't take many bullets to shoot game at long range. I'd rather see more very long and sleek bullets similar to the 50 caliber Amax in all the smaller calibers. Hornady seems to want to compete on price and not quality. They offer high quality for their price point. But how about a few more bullets that are the best at a reasonable price. They've proven long ago that they can produce such bullets. But then changed the 7mm 162 Amax to a cheaper, shorter, lower bc bullet with a melting plastic tip rather than the old non-melting aluminum tip.
They don't have to go back to aluminum but why put these stubby new tips on their "best" new bullets.

Nearly half the bullet length of 750 gn 50 cal Amax is ogive, just what's needed to max bc and with that big tip it should expand at very low velocity: Hornady Manufacturing Company :: Bullets :: Rifle :: Choose by Caliber :: .510 50 CAL :: 50 Cal .510 750 gr A-MAX®
