What are your experiences with using Hornady's 6.5 mm 153 grain A-Tip bullets over 3,200 fps, and what twist rate are you using?
I have not used any of these yet, and am not sure whether I should try them or not. I am using Berger 156 grain EOL's and 153.5 grain LRTH's over 3,300 fps with no problems and great groups. I have a 31" 6.5 PRC Bartlien 5R LH gain twist 1:8.5 to 1:7.5 throated long. I picked up a couple boxes of the A-Tip's because they claim to have a great BC, from a local shop that stocks them. Later I found that Hornady doesn't recommend them at the RPM my load is producing, so I have not tried them. I am interested to see what real experiences have been.
