The New Hornady A-tip match bullet

[CVCOBRA1]

New long throated reamers....
New 6.5 twist barrels.....
Keep up boys

Wow! I can dig that but I wonder will my 6mm and 6.5mm 1-8 twist barrels be tight enough to spin the 110's and 153's, respectively?

I'm hoping my 8 twist will spin the 153. I think it probably will since it will stabilize the 150 smk

Looks to be about $80 to $90 a box depending on caliber. Not too bad.

Where did you see that?

 

[Creedmoor shooter]

Just saw that hornady is saying 70-80 a box. Ouch that's a hard one to swallow

Considering this a long range HUNTING forum I would hope someone would at least be thinking it...

The joke was in they were announced a few hours ago and guys will want to know how they perform on game.

 

[Muley Buck]

How long until the first guy asks if it would be good for hunting...

You know someones gonna try. I can't wait to hear about it!

 

[tbrice23]

Hey, anyone know how they perform on game?

 

[DR 3006]

I am wondering what twist will be needed for 250gr/153gr. I have a 300RUM in progress and its early enough to change my barrel twist? will 1-9 work or 1-8 be better choice?

I'm guessing it'll act a lot like a Chinchaga bullet...no reason not to try it on game...many many "match" bullets are used very successfully on game.

You're right, no doubt. My wife and I used the 147 ELD-M on antelope in Wyoming this year. Performed great!

Midway has the twist rates. The 110 needs a 7.7, the 135 needs a 8.5, the 153 needs a 8, the 230 needs a 9, and the 250 needs a 8.5 twist

 

[jasonco]

DANG?! They're already out of stock at Midway!

Just read the email and watched video. Reminds me of Win. Silver tip bullets . Hornady is pumping out things do fast. Thier marketing people must be making some ching ching. I have some 6.5 , 119 gr. Match solid Cooper titanium flash tip I was wondering what would do on antelope and deer.
Forgot to say they were Leigh.
