I picked up some 208 grain A-Max bullets to run through my 300 Wm. I was wondering if anybody else had tried these yet.
If so, what kind of load did you build and how did it perform?

Hi I started using them last fall and love them. I ws using 180gr prior now I don't think I will go back. I used 64gr of IMR 4350 with 3 shot group that were touching if not going into the same hole. I also tried 66 and 68gr but the 64 gave me the best results. I noticed about a inch or so drop and 1 inch right compared to the 180 silver tips I had before.
