[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 706103, member: 1007"] If you're going to shoot an elk with amax bullets you need to keep them out of the shoulder bones. These will do best in the ribs only. I've shot coues bucks up to moose with them and the last place you want an amax at any range or speed is heavy bone. Keep them in the ribs and you're fine. Shoulders will make life suck quickly. These are much more frail than sst's. I have found the sst's to have much higher bc's than advertised. IMO, sst's are still light for elk but much better than amax's. All that said, I love amax's for hunting medium sized game. They open quickly and reliably but will vaporize on heavy bone. [/QUOTE]
