Not hunting bullets, but here is a link to some of the new offerings from Hornady supposedly available after the beginning of the year. http://www.hornady.com/store/Match-newbullets/The reports elsewhere is the 225g 30 caliber bullet's BC is around 0.711, 338 caliber around 0.720, 6.5 caliber 0.580, and 6mm around 0.530. No data available yet on the other bullets listed that I have seen. Thoughts?

I wonder if they plan to discontinue the A-Max now? I sure hope not.

Better buy up some A max! Seating poly tips in jackets has always been the bottle neck in achieving super accuracy.

The 285 338 looks intersting. My TRG is an older one with a twist a mite slow for the 300's. Maybe the 285's would work well............................DJ

Looks like they are trying to get in on Bergers game to me.

Once again a new line of bullets and they skip the .277. The .270 has never been traditionally a MATCH caliber, since the .270 Win, .270 Weatherby and .270WSM where designed as hunting rounds. The new bullets are match slugs, not hunting bullets.

Looks like they are trying to get in on Bergers game to me. Not Hardly. Hornady was making Match grade Hollow point bullets before Walt Berger even made his first commercial .22 cal bullets. If anyone is "late" to the game, it's Berger- not Hornady.

you can't improve on perfection,i never see the need for any new bullets from hornady for the 270. 140grn BTSP kills anything i can find in the woods.

Wonder if they'll be a finicky to seating depth as the Bergers. That's what i like about the A-Maxs, get them close and they'll shoot.
