Quote from: MDGrand on February 01, 2012, 11:35:46 AMI think what needs to be made clear here though, is that The Hornday A-Max, is NOT designed for hunting. Not to say it can't be used.. but know that if you use it, and it does not do what you want, its because its a target round and not meant to used on Animals.The Berger 210 VLD on the other hand IS made for hunting.. so..Have you witnessed what a 208 A-Max does to Mule deer and Elk at extended ranges with a .300 Win Mag pushing it? I have, it's a very effective bullet. I wouldn't trust it point blank, especially with a Ultra Mag case behind it. In close it acts just like a SST at higher velocities, a very effective rockchuck/varmint bullet and thats it.

I have the Wyatts extender in one of my custom RUMs, and it didn't gain me any OAL.

The MBE-3 is .110" longer inside than a factory Remington box. Fitting them takes a little time in the mill. Just make sure whoever does it for you does it correctly. I have been fixing them ALOT lately that weren't installed correctly....mainly by a bigname shop here in Washington.

I have several installed by the " BIG NAME" Shop here in Washington. Curious to see what it could be?

Hornady.. still does not recommend them for hunting.. just stating a fact. People should be aware as you just mentioned in your example that only in certain calibers/velocities is it truely effective as a hunting bullet.
From what I see berger hybrid bullets for hunting are not out yet but coming soon.
