Hornady A-tip 6.5s and Re26 in the Creed

A buddy of mine stopped by Hornady and found these factory seconds for less than half price. I have some Re 26 that I intend to try with them.

Has anybody been there, done that?
 
Many times, I live 40 miles from there. They’ll give you an extra 10% off if you show them your current NRA card. At least they did a few years back last time I was there.
 
Another point, the A-tip is nothing new. They made a 162 gr 7mm Aluminum tip match bullet 15 years or so back. I’ve still got a couple hundred of them. Shoot really good.
 
I run 48 grns of RL26. Its on a Model 7 20" #3 8 twist and getting 2800 FPS. Not A-tips but Partitions and Lupua Brass. Hunting load not match load. I haven't shot any match bullets with this load.
