Better accuracy, 208 amax or 190 NCC?

[slm9s]

If you were going to reload for a new 300 Win Mag for LR accuracy, and you had the 208 Amax or the 190 Nosler custom competition on your bench, which would you choose? Does one have a better accuracy record than the other?
Thanks in advance.

Not even close IMHO,
I have never heard of any serious long range shooter shooting the Noslers (I am sure there is some though) and the 208 has a GREAT track record.

When you say long range I'm assuming 1000 yards. Mid range is 600 yards. Shooting at those distances the AMAX will out perform the Noslers given it has about 100 BC points better than the Noslers. Given the design of the 2 bullets I'd start the AMAX about 20k into the lands and back off from there seeing where they want to shoot in your gun. Typically VLDs like being into the lands. The noslers will probably prefer to be off the lands. Start about 10k off and work back. I shoot both bullets but in a 308 so I can't help with load data. The noslers will do very well out to 600 but the AMAXs will take over from there.
