    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.

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