    750 Grain A-MAX

    I'm after some load data for the above mentioned projectile for a 50 BMG ( Styre HS50 36" Barrel ) I'm looking for a starting for this rifle. powder 2218, CCI35 primer. ADI-Thales have a max load recommended and I have contacted them and waiting to hear back from them. some site suggest 214grains of 2218 as maximum with other suggesting more and some saying less.
    If anyone has had any practical experience with this combination it would be appreciated.

    Cheers Rob

    Rob I got two 220gr with 2218 and the amax through my one, I started around at 212 according two my data.
    What are you going to shoot with them?
    I was disappointed with them really just my opinion.

    It is a good friends rifle and I'm helping out with a load, he is hoping to belt some pigs with it on open cropping country in New South Wales. What pills gave the best performance for hunting?

    Cheers Rob

    CE have some 50 pills out now they look good.
    I found the 650fmj as good as the amax for killing deer and goats, probably even better on a hard porker but never got a pig
