[QUOTE="kiwi3006, post: 307039, member: 8927"] You experience with the a-max is quite different to mine. I have used the 162 a-max out of my 7mm mag at 3067 fps. It has taken 6 animals from 358 yds to 638 yds. On all but two animals the bullets exited, this included a fallow spiker at 638 yards and a bull tahr at 630 yds. Most shots were just behind the shoulder, hitting ribs and sometimes the shoulder blade. The animals where it did not exit were a pig at 380 yds, hit the near shoulder and went up into the spine, and a red hind at 380 yds, went in behind the shoulder and then seemed to turn at right angles and ended up in front of the near side hind leg. I have not used the a-max inside of 350 yds because it is too explosive I feel, but I have no complaints about it beyond 350. The only problem is they are unobtainable in New Zealand at the moment. Stu. [/QUOTE]
