I have a lot of 73 Gr AMAX to start loading for a GAP AR and a KAC Match.

Anyone been loading and shooting 73's in a gas gun? I am also interested in any bolt gun loads.

Any yes they are 73 GR AMAX.

Thanks

I have IMR 4895, RL15, Varget, and WW748 and several various lbs of other misc powder.
 
someone can correct me if im wrong, but I think the 73amax is too long for semi-auto's

I think the 73's were mag length compatible. Hornady didn't give a great response when I asked, just that they weren't planning on producing them again in the future.
