The All New Hornaday A tips ????

You can find them for $65/100 from reputable places all day long. Still expensive, but they've been very consistent in measure for me. Just haven't had a chance to unpack all the reloading equipment and get loads worked up yet - but will post in a thread once I do. They are definitely not bang-for-buck bullets, but I'm curious to see if they outshoot Berger in my rifle. It'd be worth it to me if they do.
 
I made two OCW load workups, both using the 135 A-Tip in 6.5 CM. One using H4831SC and one using RL16 and in both cases using .4 grain increments and working up to max recommended charge, with one additional load .2 gr. over max recommended. Careful observation for pressure signs will be done.

All bullets were seated to recommended OAL due to magazine length. No effort was made to seat relative to lands.

These were shipped to the shooter and I should have some results in a couple of weeks.
 
I agree. I dont see $65 per box anywhere...

Powder Valley. Apologies, I thought everyone was already buying everything from there! Definitely my favorite shop for reloading components, and really great people that are a pleasure to work with. Please don't buy all my components! :) Kidding of course, the more people reloading in this hobby, the happier I am. Enjoy, they always have great prices on everything.
