Anyone checked out the new Atip from Hornady??

New line set to release soon, got some good looking numbers if the BC are not super inflated!!

Nah. Let's not delete it, let's find a purpose for it.

What do you guys think the best cartridge for the 250 gr A-TIP will be?
I'm thinking it'll be like 300 RUM, or 300 Lapua...
I don't think the 300 PRC will move it fast enough. Not sure about the 300 Norma, either. Gonna need some twist to stabilize for sure. Wonder if 9 or 8.5 would be enough in the RUM or Lapua?

I might have to give that 6.5 mm 153 gr a go in my 264 Win Mag...

Sure are some attractive, sleek bullets!

How about the 30 Sherman Magnum (aka improved 300 PRC) which chambering comes with an 8.5 twist.

I think the .300 RUM would be the perfect platform to launch that 250gn behemoth. That's quiet a chunk of metal but the RUM has the oven space, I believe. I do not have one, and have never really considered it, but now my mind is reasoning out the "necessity" to get one. Why do I do this? I've got problems! I need some "group therapy".
On another note: my new Pac Nor barrel in .300WinMag (28", 9t, 5g) should be here by the END OF THE DAY! I have the Berger 215's with new Norma brass waiting for its arrival but I wonder about that 230gn and a hefty dose of that "Hen's teeth RL-26". The possibilities are exciting! I'm trying not to touch myself

LMAO!!

You too, huh?
I need a 300 RUM or 300 Lapua like I need another hole in my head, but here I sit trying to convince myself it's a miracle I've lived without one this long!

You're gonna have to tell me more about this. First I'm hearing of it.

 

[Remmy700]

I would like to see the atip in a dern 285-300 gr .338!

I'd still think it'll be too much bullet for the Sherman.

300 Norma Improved gets my vote. Probably have to build one now darn it.
