[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1691912, member: 27307"] I've been using AMAX bullets for target and hunting for lots of years. There have been reports of blow ups at close range but my adventures don't ever get that close. I'm usually 200 yards or more for most of my shots in two states. Hitting a bone is not suggested for any AMAX as the jacket is milder than what you might be used to with other jacketed bullets. This is not a punch through the bone to break game down. It's a precision bullet meant to be used when you can pick your shot. So no on the exit wound. I think your 162s are a good choice for elk. Just skip that shoulder shot!:eek:;):D Effective killing range is up to what your capabilities are. My notes state that the energy for elk should be good to about 750 yards. This is with a decent 7mm Rem Mag load and your bullets. [/QUOTE]
