Hornady's new releases and new tips

[Rob01]

They are within a few thousandths of the 140 AMAX in OAL. Almost the same length. I can give you an exact length tomorrow when I get home from work.

Anyone shooting the 208's out of a 308? If so, did you get close to the lands? Just loaded 25 in hopes some nice weather pops up and try these. OAL was 2.850, started with 39.6 gr of varget to 41.0 in 0.2 gr increments.

Finally got lucky on getting the hornady 178 gr XLD from midway. Be here next week.

I have shot the regular 208's from my 308. Using Litz's tested G7 on that Vs the ELD-X shows that there is VERY little difference between them.
Yes, I did get close to the lands, I was using CFE, as I'm not a fan of Varget's HC fouling. You should be happy with the results, Cheers!

Thanks for the reply. Kind of figured they should be close.

Got my 178 XLD-X in today. Some how midway doubled my order. 6 boxes came in. Loaded a batch of the 208's but put those on hold to try these 178's. Scope is already set on hornady 178 match from this past summer. Asked hornady about seating and load. Said to load them like the A-Max.

Let us know if you need help testing those extra bullets they sent you.

Actually put some for sale in the EE section of AR15.com. Forgot about another site I had a notification set up when they came in. They shipped me 3 boxes before sending me the notification that they were in. Not sure what happened but not going through the hassle of returning them. Already have a few buyers.
