162 Hornady Match

Anyone shooting the 162 Hornady match bullets in place of the AMAX and if so how do they compare?? Thanks guys!!
 
Haven't shot the AMAX so can't compare but they shoot well out of a 7rm. Come up is 23 minutes at 1K.
 
Have a bunch that ive been collecting since amax are on the endangered list. Have shot any yet. Hope they'll be close but I don't know
 
I love the amax for mid range, tied a national record with them at Lodi nationals. Also shot an 800 clean one day at La Crosse with them. Gave away the 162 match bullets I had left, they were not worth selling. I could not do that to someone.
 
Are you talking about 162 BTHP? If so, I have shot both Amax and BTHP out of my 7-08. 10.5 twist, same brass, same primer, same load, same seating depth relative to each bullet. They both shot awesome. I think the difference was about .1 to .2 mil out past 1000 yards. I might be a little off, (my book is not in front of me). Sadly I am out of both and trying to find a load for 150 smk's that is all I could find.
 
I am hoping that they shoot in my 284. I am low on AMAXs and seen some for sale so took a chance on them. I have heard some guys have had good luck with them. Thanks for the reply's!!
