Yeah I guess with the boat tail on it it does take a bunch of bearing surface away.

Side note-
I see what looks like an R-15. I am just getting into the AR world, but I already took the step with a 21" 223AI in the 8".
Heard that you cannot run a 75 Amax out of an AR due to magazine OAL. Little help? Would be nice to buy a half ton of Amaxes and have a blast.
Please God, give me some good tags this year....

Anyone run them in a 1-9? I do,in 223AI and 22-250AI,which do increase the RPM over SAAMI specs. 1-8" is whatcha wanna buy,1-9" is what you gotta TRY(if so maligned).......(grin)

I run em only in a 1 in 7", but my current ar build is a 1 in 7" as well. Planning on using 77 smk's and 62 tsx's in that gun pretty much exclusively.

A 1-9" 18" AR makes the 62TSX very happy.
I hate all SMK's.................

Got some more amax kills in the last couple of days. One WT doe at 180 yards in brain and two really big coyotes one broadside at 150 or so hit ribs and got a nice exit dropped him. Second was trotting broadside and I hit his hips and got an exit. Busted him up pretty bad! I think they'll do well on WT rib shots. I have a load in Lapua brass with 24.4 grains of RL 15 at 2.450 oal, with rem 7.5's. It's holding 1/2" groups at 100.

A 2.450" 75 A-Max kiss,is a nice throat arrangement,that'll do it all.
The 75A-Max,squarely rates having a rifle built around it.............

I agree Big Stick. I'll never go slower than 1 in 7" again on a 22. Stacks 55 vmaxes one on top of the other and will shoot anything up to 80 I've tried in it. I hate looking at factory 22 cf rifles now. None of them will shoot a 75 amax.

the Savage LRPV(what I have)will. I run nothing but the 75 AMax's out of the 22-250 1-9"...that 250 is a whole diffrent animal with the 75's very cool factor

I think the Nostler 60 grain partition is the best for deer. Powder H335 at 3200 fps.

I'll vote for the Nosler too from my experience. But, you sure can't argue with Stick's success with the A-Max, I might have to give it a try too.
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

For the fella who asked 1-9; run them from a Mag Deuce with one hole accuracy, appreciated more as range gets far longer than 100yards for certain over the 69 overruns it eats more regularly.
As far as the Nosler 60 Party (or BT for that matter), never met a gun that ate either over a Barnes or Hornady or Sierra of similar weights.
The 62 TSX for deer sized critters, so far, has been impeccable and the 60 Party has never shot better than a 45/70 at a hundred, let alone a 224, to get much respect.

FWIW, Barnes is rumored (strongly, and well) to be coming out with a higher BC 50 grain and 60 grain TTSX very, very soon.

You still have that .257Roy? That damned thing was a lightning bolt, and WAY overpressure, but damn... did it kill stuff RIGHT now.
