[QUOTE="ZSteinle, post: 1111068, member: 10411"] I am shooting them in my 6.5x47 20" barrel savage target action. I am shooting them at 3330 FPS. My load work up was very fast and they shoot great. Only thing I have killed with them would be a coyote at 400 yards. He didn't flinch. For what its worth it was a full pass through. The exit wound wasn't anything astronomical. I expected it to blow a cantaloupe on the other side. I have also shot the 100 grain amax threw a stack of approx. 8 dry phone books totaling 14" and at point blank range the 100 amax didn't penetrate all the phone books and only found shrapnel in the phone books. I would attribute the lack of penetration and disintegration to the velocity. In that same stack of phone books I also shot a 140 amax going at 2700 fps and it penetrated fully and continued on. I have also tested them at various ranges and have come up with a g7 BC of .190 Litz does not have these in his book so I had to come up with it on my own. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
