About LinkBacksI do have to ask; has anyone on here actually had any problems with plastic tip melting actually making a difference at the distances you are shooting them at?
Looks like good times ahead for Berger too!

Just a marketing ploy by Hornady to claw back a little more of the market share

Exactly! The speal on the tip deforming and altering the bc could well be the case, but honestly what a load of marketing whoha, Hornady knows their bullets are quite a bit cheaper than some of the opposition, and what a great way of justifying ramping the price up. As soon as i heard them talking about how complex the new bullets are to make, i thought "here we go i'm starting to feel like im being conditioned for a reaming on price here".

As soon as I read you writing about hearing about that theory I called my supplier with the intention of confiscating his Amax's in exchange for my money. Originally Posted by GWH

What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
