Don't be so hasty...some of these people could be wrong... I hunted a ranch in Texas this year that wouldn't let me use my .223AI...Im OK with whatever the rules are so I told the ranch Manager I'll just use my big gun.... " What caliber is that?" he asked.... .243 He got a kick out of that

So far, it loves Amax, especially 80's. The Barnes I've tried (55 and 62 gr.) were a bust. I had some 70 TSX's, but sold them as I had no use for them at the time. Probably should have kept them.
Thanks, gunner.
DF My Ruger with the 24 inch, One on 7 Twist, shoots the 80 grain A Maxes better than the 75s also...originally a 243 based action, the longer length allows for seating that bullet out there... plus they look cool.... and believe me, placed in the right spot, the bullet will start making things stop functioning real quick... The rifle... PacNor barrel, Ruger 77 Mk 2 action...Boyd's Grey Laminate stock...

Clarke's shoots pretty damn good too, but it's not cool enough to have a dog leg bolt handle.
Yep. Takes a real man to be seen with a bolt handle like that... DF Iff'in I had Gruff's money, I'd try a Mohawk as well. Travis

They do look nice. My Mohawk was a 6mm Rem, so same deal. Plenty of box mag room. 80's at 3K, vs. 75's at 3,2K, maybe 3,4K with some powders. Long range it's probably close to a wash, maybe the edge going to the faster 75's. Not a great difference in B.C.'s, .435 vs. .473. Have you looked at trajectory/K.E. tables comparing those two? DF

I personally would not consider anything from a 22 caliber a big game load. Not sayin you can't kill with it but I just don't like looking for game after I shoot it. I like the DRT shots from the big 7's and 30's. This post would fit better in the varmint rifle forum. Just another city bitch. Takes on to know one. Travis

I'm through wasting my time on this one, better things to do than argue over a bullet, and some of the computer wizard hunters on here. I'm not here for this uselessness.

Yet you keep coming back to post. hmmm These "computer wizard hunters" have killed a fair number of animals to back their positions. Exactly what uselessness are you here for? You opened and posted several times now on a thread that made it clear from it's title what it was about. Yet you posted contrariness of the sake of it. Then your vagina gets itchy and you don't have time for it. Then you come back again.

I'd had a couple of range sessions with the Mohawk 8 twist 22-250. It really likes the 80 Amax. 34 gr. 760 shot three into .407", 35 gr. H-4350, three at .430" with .02" jump and reportedly at around 3K fps. I haven't clocked them yet.
I was surprised by the 80 Amax performance as this Shilen tube actually measures 8 1/4" twist, not a true 8 twist. Yes, I measured it a number of times to confirm. I had read that one may need a 7 twist for the long, sleek 80 Amax.
The gun did pretty well with the 75 Amax, several loads into .6" or so. I tried Superperformance and as the loads got hotter, the groups shrank, best around .57". Haven't clocked them yet, but Hodgdon data shows a max of 3,400 fps with SPF, around 200 fps ahead of most other loads. And there didn't seem to be any signs of excessive pressure, bolt opened easily, cases popped out, primers looked OK.
If I can push the 75 Amax at 3,300+ compared to 3K with the 80 Amax, the 75 should be the distance winner, as the B.C. between these two isn't that different. Or said another way, the velocity difference is subtantially greater than the B.C. difference.
100/115 NPT shot inch and a half or so, 115 VLD's inch or better, 117 SST's slightly under an inch. Amax, undisputed top dog.
