[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 258666, member: 8927"] I am using 162 a-max in my 7 mm rem mag and am really impressed with their performance. If the 208 a-max is anything like it you will not be disappointed. The published BC seems spot on to. I have shot 4 deer ranging from 358 to 638 yds and all have dropped on the spot! Three complete pass throughs on shoulder/chest shots. One bullet did something strange though. It hit a lying down broadside deer at 383 yds. Hit just behind the right leg and took out several ribs, no exit wound at all. There was an area of bruising on the right hand side in front of the right rear leg. I didn't do a full autopsy (time was against me) but there was blood through the gut cavity. The bullet appeared to enter the chest, hit the lungs and did a 90o bend through the guts before ending up in front of the right leg. I never found the projectile. I have shot goats at 200 - 250 yds with spectacular results but would be wary of shooting a deer inside 300 yds with them. Stu. [/QUOTE]
