**Tim300wsm** · 01-14-2011, 10:27 PM

evenig gents i just ordered 200 178 gr bthp and 200 208 gr bthp the hornady website says it has the highest bc possible but they dont list the bc :-[ i was hoping some one would know what it is. ive always loved hornady they are a great company to deal with the absolute best cust service ive ever experianced so im hoping my gun likes them (cheaper than berger too)

The 208gn HPBT BC is 0.620 per the Hornady 8th ed. manual. The 208gn A-Max is 0.648 FWIW.

Per MidwayUSA:

The 178 A-Max is .495
178 BTHP is .530

The A-Max's are $27.99/50
BTHP's are 31.99/50

Funny how the A-Max's have got to be more expensive to manufacture, yet the new bullet costs a few bucks more. Still, .530 BC is pretty good.

those prices are per 100, not 50

Yeah, sorry about that, brain fart. One of the main reasons I buy Hornady is because of their low prices per 100.
