On a related note:

208 A-max is in stock at Graf's, and you can avoid the 4.95 handling fee if you order at least 4 boxes:

I have the 208's. I just like to support a company that is putting out new and heavy 30 cal bullets in hopes that they might continue to think in that direction. They are also cheaper than sierra 220.

Load length

So, I was able to find these Hornady 225's locally and at a very reasonable price, comparatively ($32.99/100).

The next question is... has anyone found an optimal length for loading/feeding from a GI mag?

Got my 225's yesterday. They are long 1.582 in length, look pretty slippery. Will shoot some this weekend and see. Anyone know how long a Sierra 240 is.

Good to know! I like that they are almost 10 cents less per bullet than the Sierra's!
