[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 381824, member: 1007"] IMHO the Amax line of bullets is a dream come true for 308 shooters. The reason being is that they open up and expand at very low velocities. This makes them less than ideal for large magnums but great for slower calibers like the 308. I have seen them expand on soft targets below 1400 FPS. This increases the effective range of the 308 conciderably. These act the opposite of the SMK. With the SMK, they can be very unpredictable. The Amax's are very predictable. Because of their softer nature, most (including myself) dont recomend them for anything larger than deer but they are very good for up to deer. I personally have taken quite a few critters with the Amax's ranging from the 155 through the 178's. The 168's and 178's have done the best for me from a terminal standpoint. These have better BC's than most other 'hunting' bullets and are deadly accurate. You should at least try them once and see for yourself. If youre not happy with them then try somethiing else. I have a feeling that you will be plesently suprised. M [/QUOTE]
