Old Stlye A Max

[TiminTN]

If any of you guys run across any of these, please gimme a holler.

140 grain 6.5 MM

I was brain dead working on cleaning my outside AC condensing unit and I got back 2 minutes late to an E-bay auction, I`m very depressed.

Box of 80 went for $12.50. My 6.5/284 Lt gun loves them. These are the old style A Max. Thanks.

Will do.

The old ones have a larger tip.

I called Hornady and was told the tip was giving them trouble, and to fix that, the shape had to be changed so what ended up a whole new style of bullet.

The old ones are longer than the new ones considerably. I feel an advantage on the BC numbers.

I know I length checked my whole box of 100 of the old ones and you would not believe how well they measured. All were within .0005"

How long have they been changed to the new smaller tip?

Is there a difference in the boxes or the product number so I'll know them if I see them? I'll be happy to look for them but am not sure if I'll recognize them if I find them.

Yes, the new boxes are red all over. The old ones have metal corner brackets also. 6.5 and 140`s will get it done!!

Don`t know, but Lonnie Humel from Hornady asked me my lot #, it took him a few minutes and came back and said they were from 1996.
