Just received three boxes of aluminum tipped Amaxes called National Match. My current amax measure 1.435", but the National Match measures 1.595". I know they have been out of production for some time now. Anyone with reloading info and bc for this bullet? I'm shooting a 7 mag / 26" barrel / 9 twist. First time I've ever seen these. Looks wicked! Want to shoot whitetail. Are these as accurate as the current polymer tip? And any info on terminal performance on game?

I believe those 'National Match' bullets were the precursor to the plastic tipped Amax bullet we know & love.

See if you can hunt down an older edition Hornady reloading manual, should have data in there for ya.
Maybe give Hornady CS a call to ask for what edition you might look for. Or, drop them an email asking for load data. Either way, I'm sure they'll get you squared away...
