Does anyone know the bullet base to ogive measurement for this bullet? I was planning to load this in .280 ackley but dont know if it will clear my magazine with its long bullet. Magazine length is 3.400. My CBTO is 2.810

BricePumba,
The A-Max is designed to be a target bullet, not for hunting. Ignorant of this, I used it 162 in a 7 mag) on a ram. It penciled right through.
