Has the .243 105 gr A-Max been discontinued? The Hornady website doesn't list it anymore. None in stock at Cabelas or the local gun store. I've got a feeling that they've been replaced by the new ELD line of bullets. Does anyone have the official word on what is going on?

ALL of the A-Max's have been discontinued - they have been replaced with the ELDs... which may not be exact replacements.

I ran into the same situation a few months ago when I was trying to find some more. Emailed Hornady and said the ELD/ELDX replaced them. They have a 103gr ELDX that should work in a 1:9 twist that should be a good replacement, though I haven't found any yet. I know they told me the 108? gr ELD needs a faster twist.
Good info. Thanks guys. I'm just not excited about working up a new load and verifying drops and all that stuff. I found a load that I really like and I hate to change things.
Oh well, I guess I'll try to scrounge up a few more boxes to finish off this barrel.

I think I have a box or two - if you are interested, drop me a note.

Yes, about 4-5 months ago I scrounged the internet and managed to stock up about 1K of them, so I can burn out my current barrel without further load development. Even then they were not easy to find from the popular sources.
