Hornady A-Tip bullets 250gr 30cal bullet

[TXAoudadKlr]

Just saw Hornady is coming out with a new line of bullets with aluminum tips.

The two that stuck out the most the 153gr 6.5 and the massive 250gr 30cal!

Wow

 

[TXAoudadKlr]

Pretty wild

Midway is listing the 250gr at $89.99
Can't wait to try some.

 

[Rich Coyle]

What twist?

 

[Bravo 4]

Scaled down version of the 750 grain Amax maybe?
Still awaiting a .375 from them.

The G7 BC are listed at 0.442, 0.412, and 0.355 for 250, 230 in 308 and 153 in 6.5.

They are packaged in the order in which they are made for added uniformity. They have a die insert to help seat them without damage to the bullet. These could be winners and I'd bet they'll perform on game.

I might need a 300 Lapua improved or 300 Norma AI.

Get ready for the marketing hype accusations ... just wait for it.

What velocity do you think one might get with the 250 in a 300 PRC? They designed that bullet for saami spec 300 PRC with 8.5 twist.

I'd guess only 2700 and that might take a long barrel. Maybe 3000 fps in a 300 lapua AI

Even if the B.C's are inflated 10%.....they'd still be solid performers.

I'm a bit surprised they skipped the 7mm honestly.

 

[wildcat455]

What? No 7mm???
LOL!! There's gonna be some gents losing their heads on that one!!

They probably have a plan to release them later.

Those poor 7mm guys have been taking a beating since the 6.5mm resurgence.
Matter of fact, allot of us "Old Cartridge folks" been taking a beating with all the new cartridge intros...

 

[TXAoudadKlr]

Yeah surly a 7mm and a 338 will be following and the .375 guys will be passed over again and all will be business as usual

 

[Mustang72]

I still have a stash of the original 250gr Barnes from years ago.
