    Hornady 80grain A-Max vs Sierra 80grain MK

    Does anyone have any pros or cons on which bullet is preferred, the Hornady 80gn A-Max or the 80gn SMK for shooting at 600 yards slow fire. I am using a White Oak 1:7 stainless steel service rifle upper? I can't find any load data for the Hornady 80gn A-Max? Thoughts?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I will give you another option, one that I believe performs better than either of the two bullets you listed...the 82gr Berger BT. I am in the process of selling off my 80SMKs or using them in my practice loads.
