Just got done with a bunch of load-testing of the new Hornady A-Tip bullets in three calibers, 6mm, 6.5mm and .30. According to Hornady, they're designed to be more tolerant of seating depth and twist rates, and the results indicate they succeeded. The 135-grain 6.5mm A-Tip was easy to get to shoot well in a couple of different 6.5 rounds.

Of course, A-Tips are supposed to be a match bullet, but that doesn't mean they won't work on game--and that some hunters won't use try them. I did a little Googling and didn't find any hunting reports anywhere, probably because they're so new, but they'll probably start showing up soon.
