Hornady A-Max Bullets

[bsekf]

Has Hornady discontinued the A-Max Bullets? If they are still available what flavors and where? I have a computer illiterate friend looking for some.

Which caliber? I know they discontinued the 6mm 105’s. Guess the A-tips were the replacement? I still have some that I shoot and they shoot real good. Wish I could order more but will have to change eventually.

The original AMAX bullets are now mostly called ELD-M. Basically the same bullet with a new "tougher" poly tip. I have tested some of the new ELD-M 52-grain. 224" bullets against my old favorite 52-grain AMAX loads and find no real difference in accuracy.

I picked up several boxes of the .224 52's because of the hype about them for coyote. Haven't tried them yet, as I have my go to bullets in good supply.

Per Hornady, these are the only true Hornady AMAX bullets left

So we have to do the search for the both of you?

I have 2000 or so 6mm 105 Amax bullets left to burn up. When I'm done I'll buy the ELDM's.
If you're not shooting a 30 cal or 50 cal it's time to move to the eldm.

Those 30 caliber 168s shoot really good in my 30-06.

The 155amax shoot great in my 308 if you can find any

Down to my last 300 123's

Tell him to get the ELD-Ms. Not only tip change but bullet change and higher BCs. The AMAX was a good bullet for it's time but the ELD-M is better.

I wish.
I built a 6mm CM gas rifle that loves 105 amax. The first bullet I tried was the 108 eld... they just would not feed because of the nose profile.
I found a guy that sold me a few hundred 105gr, after they are gone I'll have to change bullet brands.

What are you shooting them in?

You could always go to the 105 BTHP after you are out of 105 AMAX.

It's been a good 5 years since they discontinued most of the AMAX bullets; when I heard the news I scoured the net and secured the last 1000 I could find for my 243AI. I've probably got about 600 left.

Odd the 108 won’t feed. I use the 108 eld factory ammo in my 6mm ARC and it feeds great. If you liked the AMAX then try the BTHP. You will like them too.

I purchased 50 boxes of the 75 amax in .224 back when I heard they were being discontinued, probably one of my better decisions, my built up 700 AI loves them.

I did the same thing with 52 Amax - bought a bunch - then changed bullets. I still have them on my shelf if anyone needs them....

 

[Sniperhandle]

I was at Sportsmans a few months ago and saw these on the shelf, my 2 year old Hornady manual lists them as discontinued, there was still some on the shelf last time I looked too.
30 cal 168 A-max
They are in the newer packaging too, I have several thousand 208 a-max and they are in different packaging.

 

[Rob01]

The 168 Amax and the .50 are the only amax made now. They were discontinued years ago. The ELDs are a better bullet.
