Re: BC of Hornady 178 BTHP
hey you may not need to know this but I'll say anyway.the new Power Pro 2000 LR powder from Alliant shows a load giveing the same fps as the loaded ammo with this bullet.the odd thing is that it is all so the same charge weight as the loaded ammo.but one said it wasn't the same powder being used.
but 47.7gn of Power Pro 2000 LR is giveing the same fps but is a compressed load.you may have already choose a powder but thought you might want to know this.

I assume you're talking about the A-max, right? I just picked a few boxes and am going to work up a load for my AR10. I read great things about them and am optimistic. My barrel is 1:10 and 20" long. I'm starting at 42gr of Varget & working up from there using LC brass. I should have some results over the next week or two.

No Sir, not the A Max..The 178 BTHP... Midway had them in their blemished bullet sale and I picked up a couple hundred.

Lol... I guess not everyone has heard of them. As soon as I saw them I made it a point to try them out...

Re: BC of Hornady 178 BTHP
I saw those but didn't realize they were Hornady. The amax has a CD of 0.495 but I guess that's neither here nor there.
