[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 1009685, member: 67706"] Marcf44a That is correct that the manufacturer does not recommend using A Max for hunting. At close range and high velocity they will come apart and do alot of superficial damage and possibly not put the animal down humanely. You are right about the success being the heavier weight and the velocity getting below 3000 fps or so. The A max is used for long range since they will open up at a very low velocity. As for using a 155 grain A Max at 300 yards I personally would not use it for hunting. There are so many other bullets out there that are designed to better fit your application. I have had great results with the SST in my 270 Win but if you cant get them to shoot there is always the Nosler Accubond or my favorite the Swift Scirocco. Ryan [/QUOTE]
