[QUOTE="bigbuck, post: 385496, member: 18377"] This report is very odd . I 'm not trying to discredit your experience with the 162 AMAX but my dad uses the 162 AMAX in his 7mm Ruger #1 with the little short barrel and never has bullets to pencil through . What happens when you place an AMAX in the boiler room at 50 yards is ONE BIG MESS of DEAD deer ! I have shot deer within bow range with a 300 RUM using 155 AMAX and 208 AMAX I rarely ever have one run at all but if they did I could watch them pile up from my stand ! When I shoot deer close up the bullet blows up like a bomb (some don't like this ) but in the end dead is dead . Usually I have to rake out the heart as it is blown into little chunks it makes a big mess . I have and my dad shot enough deer with the AMAXS that I will say that if someone looses a deer or watches one run off and never find it it is because they "thought" they made a well placed shot . I have heard several reports of the BERGERS pencilin through but I've never heard of the AMAX doing this nore has it hapened to anyone in our hunting group . Just my experience sorry to hear that you lost your deer. BigBuck [/QUOTE]
