[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1249779, member: 13110"] They expand plenty and if anything they expand too much. I shot a elk at 533yds last year with 162 Amax's out of a 7-300wm at 3265. Even at 533yds the bullet never made it to the far side of the rib cage. I ended up having to shoot it again. I would say the heavier for caliber you go the better you'll be. The 140 Amax's out of my 6.5-300wm perform better than the 162 7mm's and I've killed 3 elk with the 6.5-300wm under 150yds. I will try the 147's out of one of my fast 6.5mm's and the 225's out of my 30-338 Norma Imp because they do kill well when they don't blow up on the surface. [/QUOTE]
