Subscribing.

I am contemplating A-Max moly, Sierra Match Kings and Nosler Partition for target practice.

kennedy,

Have used the .308 178gr Amax in both .308 and .30-06. Good bullet.

Bergers are more consistant. Its' hard enough to make a perfect bullet, let alone make a perfect bullet and then push a piece of plastic perfectly on it.

I have used the 168 a max....agreed with USSR, very good bullet

[30Cal]

I shot the 155AMax through a match M1A for a year and a half. It worked fine. They shoot best when you get them fairly close to the lands, so you'll want to seat them long.

[kennedy]

did not realize the a max had a plastic point, I will check out the berger, thanks

Berger VLD bullets are best shot into or very nearly into the lands; not jump friendly.

ok how about serria match kings, any problems with them?

Nope.

I have shot some 75 gr .224" A-Max in .223 and they did fine. I have also had good accuracy from Sierra M.K., Nosler Match (not Partition), Lapua, Berger, and JLK in .223, .308, or both.

There's nothing wrong with the A-Max, V-Max, Blitz King, or any of the other polymer tipped bullets. They are all very good performers.

The Bergers have about .025 higher BC. They are about a foot flatter at 1K and about 6" less drift in 10 mph crosswind. 6" inside the SMK at 1K is worth a scoring ring.

[ocabj]

If you want to get into a BC race, then Lapua 155gr Scenars are better than the Bergers.

I like the 155 AMAX for the shooting I do with my rifle. I agree with the individual who said they like to be seated a bit long, however the short jump to the lands in my rifle means the tips drag on the magazine a little bit.

The more rounded profile on the Sierra match kings makes seating closer to the lands somewhat more do-able than it is with the Hornady.
