[QUOTE="sevenmm, post: 1045242, member: 87227"] gun) I have had mixed results on game with A-MAX projectiles on medium game (mainly feral goats). In some cases I have had solid chest shots with my 7mm rem mag and the bullets just penciled through the animal and simply ran off. Others shots have taken the animal down, but needed 1-2 more shots to take them out completely. I am not that bad a shot, all shots were all chest hits and should have out them down in one short, but the bullets didn't open up as much I would have liked. In the end I stopped using them and went back to Nosler BTs, much better - no animals ever required follow up shots if you hit them properly. I am in OZ too and have found plenty of mates using Amax projectiles in smaller calibre with good results, I just don't think they are the best for medium and large game. I wouldn't use them, there are plenty of purpose made hunting projectiles that work much better... [/QUOTE]
