Nosler 80gr CC vs Hornady 80 AMAX

I just installed a new Apache Gunworks 1:8 twist heavy contour barrel on my 223 Model 11 and have worked up a couple loads with AMAX. It shoots AWESOME. I have a chance to buy some Nosler 80gr Custom Competition for an incredible price, BUT I have to buy 1000. I'm a little hesitant to buy that many since I have never shot them. I had great luck in the old barrel with Nosler 55gr Varmageddon.

Any thoughts on them? How do they shoot compared to the AMAX? BC is .415 compared to .473 for AMAX. I will be shooting out to 300 yards
