308Nut Report post Posted December 24, 2015 They discontinued the 285 amax but replaced it with the 285 ELDM. M for match. To the best of my knowledge, the only difference between the ELDM and AMAX is the tip. Weight, dimensions, jacket etc...should still be the same. I wouldn't sweat it my friend. They did the same with the 6.5 140, 7mm 162 and 30 cal 208. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nralifer Report post Posted January 1, 2016 Hornady claims that the tips on their Amax bullets were melting in mid flight, so they changed the tip material to a plastic of higher melting temp. See the article in the American Rifleman Jan 2016 issue or their promotional Utube videos. The tips apparently were melting at 200-400 yds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
