[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1029607, member: 22069"] Bear in mind that the AMAX bullets have been found by many to be excellent long range hunting bullets, regardless of how Hornady intends them to be used. Realize also, that Berger bullets have become "hunting" bullets because individual shooters working to push the limits discovered that Berger "Match" bullets were very effective in the field. Berger was at least smart enough to listen to the feedback and respond by introducing a line of "Hunting" bullets. Whether or not these bullets will fit your hunting style is an open question. I have observed that many of those who dislike/distrust such bullets for hunting are often folks who prefer to shoulder shoot elk and/or do not hesitate to take the "Texas Heart Shot", as opposed to folks who are looking to take the traditional behind-the-shoulder, heart/lung area, meat-saver shot. If you fit into the first category, you would probably be happier with a bonded bullet, a partition, or a mono-metal of some kind. [/QUOTE]
