Hey form just had a quick question on cleaning, do you every worry about a carbon ring building up? Or do you scrub the chamber still on rounds that carbon rings are prevalent?Black Sabre is not a 75gr AMAX. It is a VMAX stretched to 75gr.

I have read hundreds of pages and did a search but can anyone comment on the 75Amax? Im out of the country and will be hunting withing a few days of coming home, not enough time for components to come in so I was going to run what I have which is the 75amax at 2850fps.
Edit: The other option is the 75gn Black Sabre, there are the only loaded heavies I have found in stock.
I'm now picturing the scene from Braveheart, butt it's part of a rifle cleaning and maintenance session at S2HU.I do moon a cleaning rod.

You aren’t going to convince me that a 73gr eld-m performs way different then a 75gr a max. Ahaura guys used 73gr to cull cham, goat, deer.
I doubt 75gr bthp will bounce off, but the 73gr has the same jacket thickness, meplat size and linotype as the 75gr eld-m and in real world it has a fairly obvious bc increase over the 75gr Bthp.. and the 75ax, eld-m is legendary on game.
Terminally not the same in my experience. Eld/Amax perform much more consistently than Hornady bthp. The bthp does have some supporters in this thread but if you had a choice between the 2 I’d go with the ELD.How does the hornady 75 BTHP compare to the 73 ELDM in terminal side?
I got. A lot of the hornady fr320..

Correction… Auto-incorrect sucks…Autocorrect sucks.
I've used the 55 TTSX on a few deer and a big black bear. They worked well...sort of...the black bear was a bit of a rodeo, but largely due to the first shot not being where a first shot should have been.Has anyone used Barnes 55gr TSX on medium/big game? What were the results? The factory loads group great out of my rifle.
From what I've seen, it ( tsx) needs quite a bit of speed to do much damage. Even then the wound channel is narrow. I used a 50gr ttsx out of a .223 on a doe broadside at about 60 yds with success, but probably won't use them again for anything but out the back door.Has anyone used Barnes 55gr TSX on medium/big game?

Haven't ran the 75 gr. Ran 100 rounds of the 77 gr OTM and 40 of the sabre without issue. I had 4 FTF and some case failures in two different rifles on 77 TMK AAC.Anyone else getting ftfs on AAC 75gr? I have ~1 in 30 that is a dud in my RSS. Fine for practice, but that's all. Just my lot # ?
@Formidilosus is there any definitive difference in A-max vs V-max? Different jacket structure? Different lead composition? In everything I've read so far, it's very inconclusive on what difference, if any, there is.Black Sabre is not a 75gr AMAX. It is a VMAX stretched to 75gr.

Part of me believes that Hornady would put the time and effort to differentiate various bullets, as that's entirely what a bullet manufacturer does. But the other part of me sees the efficiency of using the same components and manufacturing processes and just labeling them different, and relying on Marketing to sell the difference.
