Bewsher500 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 have you tried them already? only ask as they have been VERY inconsistent in the past and most people I know who used them has moved on I stuck with 50gr VMAx and them moved onto 52gr AMax (cheaper, postable and they work extremely well on foxes) I bought some from Low Mill Ranges for a mate in Cumbria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggiegun Seriously, try the 52gr Amax can even send you a few to try if you want, they are cheaper, come in the post and you can get them ANYWHERE in the UK without having to drive to get them I shot maybe 50-60 foxes with VMax before I was running low tried the AMax and with the exception of one fox on the move that took the bullet just above the elbow (resulting in a larger entry wound and no exit), all of the chest shot foxes have small entry, liquidised internals and occasionally a golf ball sized exit. load data is almost identical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pork chop Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 No 52gr A Max or in fact ANY amax at the Importers on Tuesday. I had a back order in for maybe 4/5 months for 6mm 105's which came a couple of months back but no 52's at all. good to know,the grape vine is'nt always right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggiegun Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Not sure which way you are meaning there but Hornady are selling EVERY bullet they can physically make so I doubt they care. In a way its good because although all manufacturers are at full capacity, many shooters are at least looking at other products until they too run dry. All the load development that must be going on behind the scenes by shooters can't hurt either, shame the powder manufacturers are stuck with all the same problems AND problems with hazardous materials too. Ships full of the stuff cant leave the Antipodes so the Aussies and Kiwis are swimming in Varget and other Hodgdon favourites so I hear. (true or not, its not here and they haven't stopped making it :-) ). I don't seem to reload much these days anyway as test rifles turn up with ammo the distributors feel fairly certain they can supply factory fodder for. PPU is always on tap and my own personal collection is deliberately based around easy to obtain components for which I have ample stock and options. This must be great for Hornady, no stock sitting at factory, everything straight out. I take that the yanks can buy what they want and not have it taken from them, if laws change, unlike our pistol ban? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggiegun Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Yes they can keep it and if Obama tried taking it away there would be some serious bother. I took this pic in 2011, I seriously doubt it looks like that now. They are ALL bullets and funnily enough, I was after some A-max there and then. Its just amazing, you wouldn't think shooting produces so much revenue. Did Obama's lot take a bung from NRA in 2008, a fair amount of dollars I think?
