[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 28496, member: 8947"] From a trajectory standpoint, the amax is superior to the MK. Accuracy of course depends on the likes of the rifle. I can say that the Amax/SST bullets are very capable of shooting in the '1 and '2 if you have the equipment that likes them. As to bullet performance, both will work very well at moderate impact speeds on game. My 308 shooting 155gr Amax blasted through 5/16" mild steel gong at 385yds (muzz vel 2850fps) so these bullets will hold together. Keep impact vel moderate!!! You may find the SST to be the perfect bullet for you as they are tough enough for 3000fps impacts yet as accurate and flat shooting as the amax. The new Interbonds may fly even better - will test some in the near future. As to loading, you can use any start data and work up. For the '08, varget is wonderful. for the '06, H4350 extreme is my favorite. For the Win mag, go H4831SC. Enjoy... Jerry [/QUOTE]
