[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2863356, member: 313"] FWIW - An older Hornady reloading manual specifically claimed that their A-Max bullets were appropriate to use on "thin skinned big game animals". I shot a fair number of whitetails with the 162gr A-Max from a custom 7STW. Hit on or behind the shoulder, they went down! I also shot a pronghorn at 450yds with that bullet. The bullet hit the antelope broadside in the chest but the bullet came apart and the jacket (or core) zipped its entire stomach wall open and its entrails dropped out while it stood for a few seconds. From my position, high on a rock bluff, I couldn't tell what I was seeing. I certainly was shocked at what I found. [/QUOTE]
