[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 385632, member: 313"] I've killed a number of deer with the 162gr A-Max launched from my 7 STW. Shots on the shoulder or behind the shoulder both resulted in very dead deer, every time. The A-Max bullet is a "match" bullet (just like the Bergers). Hornady DOES recommend its use for hunting soft skinned big game (just like Berger). However, the A-Max has a hard plastic tip which just about guarantees the onset of expansion which the Berger does not. I've yet to see an A-Max pencil through a game animal. A high velocity impact causes more rapid expansion of the A-Max, rather than a bullet which fails to expand. Normally, it is impacts below 1,600 ft/sec (or so) that cause bullets to plow through without expansion. [/QUOTE]
