    Hornady 75 gr AMAX

    Do you have any data or opinions of the 75gr. Hornady AMAX? How would it perform out of a 10.5in barrel? I appreciate your time and response.
    There is a fight, that began before any of us were ever born. It will continue, long after we have retired, moved on, and left this world. It is a fight for the soccer mom next door, your mailman, the guy that bags your groceries, and most importantly, it is a fight for your family. We are in a daily battle not for land, not for resources or colonial controls...we are in a fight for our very way of life

    Well I'm not the Doc, nor do I play him on tv, but I do know that you can't load the 75gr AMAX to magazine length, the ogive doesn't work for that. Bullet was designed for single loading on the 600yd prone slow-fire stage.

    As noted above, loads using the 75 gr AMAX are generally NOT AR15 magazine length. The Hornady 75 gr OTM does fit and function in AR15 magazines.

    I found that out the hard way after buying a pack of 600. I have not even loaded them yet.

    Ah Pat, that makes two of us. Is it even possible to download these some and just use them as training ammo?

    Load them long and shoot them one at a time. Or get a .223 bolt action.

    I've got a .223AI on order set up to shoot that bullet. Should be 3050 fps or so, flatter to 1000 than M118LR.
