Where can I find some Hornady 7 mm 162 g A Max?
Good question, Ive not had any luck finding them anywhere here either, nobody seems to have them. Ill keep an eye on this thread to see whats said.

Have you tried any of the 162 gr bthp match bullets?
i read that those are pretty good as well. Where do you find those?Quote:

I started using them about 45 years ago and never bothered to make the change to the amax.
I am interested in AMax solely for target shooting. No hunting. Upon my reading people haver decent success with the AMax. As I mentioned I read that BTHP are good as well. Their BC is a bit lower however. Good to hear Hornady will produce more in he near future
For what it's worth. I have used these in my Savage 7mm mag. They are for 1-8 twist and are not be the best choice for your 1-9.5 Savage. There are better choices for sure.
How about the 162 AMaxes? Are they better for the 1:9 twist?Quote:

I will shoot the 7 mm SAUM and all my reading and research shows that many accomplished shooters use this in a 9 twist. I guess I will have to try them to see how they do. Have you tried them?
The 162 Amax is the one with 1-8 on the box. I called Hornady and the tech said in a 1-9.5 it was iffy but MIGHT be ok. Just went with the 168 Berger. That one requires a 1-10. Better bullet IMO.

have you shot them yet? What caliber are you using them for? 7 mag? I got a bunch of 180 berger hybrids as well. I was wondering about the 168's. Berger are significantly more expensive. Did you see how long those hybrids are. And the BC is outstanding
