If you find a place, let the rest of us know...
Try wholesale hunter's warehouse (?) The normal 4-5 places I usually look are all out of stock.

Re: 208 amax in stock
I spoke to a customer service representative at hornady and he said production will begin in mid Oct. and the 208 AMAX will not be out on the market until the end of the year.

I can attest to this. They are perhaps the most vile projectile ever designed by man or computer. Simply handling them can give you warts. Send them all to me. I am a certified Hornady 208 Amax disposal expert.

Re: 208 amax in stock
My local gun shop has them in stock, I was suprised as I thought I had bought the last two boxes.

I talked to a couple people at Hornady. I could NOT get a straight answer. But reading between the lines, I'm guessing that there production schedule was based on OLD usage, and a bunch of upstarts using 208's in their .308's and 30-'06's
have significantly increased the usage and cleaned out the stock at dealers and distributors. They, of course, will burn in hell. Now, I've suggested boiling them in oil, here and now, but there are cooler heads about that insist this is good for the sport. ARGGHHH!
So, production will continue in November, probably because Hornady believes that hunters (who shoot 5 rds./year) are a bigger market than long range shooters (who probably burn 1K rds./year) Silly them.
I predict next year will be better because they're getting a clue.

Re: 208 amax in stock
I'll burn in hell for things worse than using a 208 amax in a .308. BTW jrob, in regards to your signature, I don't believe anything California comes up with anyway, so i'm going to go fondle my 208 amax's that I still have, and wait for the warts to appear.

So I should just send the 399 (used one to give the neighbor cancer) I have to you? I need to get these things out of here. I'm concerned about my children's ability to reproduce and not have them go through the endless whining that my wife and I had to endure.
Are you sure I can't pay you or something?

Good to see some sense of humor here. Some of these threads get a little intense for my tastes.

Re: 208 amax in stock
Today I was at the local sporting goods shop and I bought 2 boxes of the 208 A-max bullets. I was a little confused as to the look of relief on the shop owners face once I paid for them. Then, I remembered this thread here on the Hide. It was to late, I already swiped the card and the shop owner would not take them back. He actually forced me out of the shop. When I walked out of the store, the temperature rose from a mild 68 degrees to a scorching 110 degrees, quite unseasonable for late September in North Jersey. As soon as I put them in the car, I turned the key in the ignition and the car would not start. I became nervous so I took them out of the car, threw them in the garbage can in front of the store. My car auto-magicly started...WEIRD!! Another customer walking out of the store saw me throw them away and thought he struck gold! (Obviously he isn't a member of the Hide, or else he would have known better) He took them out of the can and walked away. The poor sap didn't get 50ft away when a lightning bolt struck him, not once but twice!!! Then to top it off the ground opened up, swallowed him, then closed back up like nothing happened! These things are evil!! I think the lead in these bullets is smelted in the cauldrons of hell. If you have any of these you need to get rid of, don't worry, send them to me immediately and I will make sure they are destroyed safely and properly.

I got a call from Midway today telling me that the 208 Amax I ordered a while back arrived today, and they would ship if I still wanted them.

Don't do it! Sure, they suck you in with all those pointy red tips, with all the lawn gnome cuteness. Then all manner of horrible things (some of which are clearly documented above) begin to happen.
I say leave them for the next terminally back-ordered fool to have his life ruined

Re: 208 amax in stock
I *just* got off the phone with Lindy at Hornady. The production run of 208's has be pushed back *AGAIN* to the end of Nov. They'll ship to dealers two weeks later. That means no 208's until at least the middle of Dec.
