jumping hornady 178 hpbts

Re: jumping hornady 178 hpbts

Many people jump both the 178 a-max and the Sierra 175 match king with excellent results. I have shot both, and they work great out of a stock 5R. I have shot dozens of folks loads with these rounds that shot one or the other jumped considerably(2.80-2.82 overall length.) As usual, the exception is the rule and not all rifles follow the rule. I would first load to the recommended manual coal and bump up as needed to tweak things after doing after doing your ladder load test.
good shooting
