Not judging, just find it odd you didn't use the same a-max bullets and see if you could tweak the reloads to improve on what you bought/used/tested/benchmarked.
I did like the A-max...
I also like BT's, SST's, and the FTX bullets I run in my .500 S&W. Honestly, I wanted to build .308 bullets and was limited by what was on the shelf at Bass Pro at the time. There were other brands, but the powder selection was equally limited and so I looked through all, (5), of my reloading manuals and found an in-stock bullet that worked with an in-stock powder and ran with it...
And then as I said, I wasn't aware that FMJ bullets were so inaccurate. I never had accuracy problems before with them. Of course those were 5.56 and not .308 and my eyes were nearly 30 years younger...
Guess I better get used to ordering components online as there are very few local sources available.
Thanks guys...
