[QUOTE="Panchik, post: 907971, member: 64425"] I use a-max for both 300 wm and 308 for marals (similar to elk) for several years and very happy with them. Past Autumn I got two marals with amax one was from 300 wm with 178 gr bullet out of 250 meters and another was from 308 with 168 gr out of 660 meters. In both cases marals walked maximum 20 meters and dropped. As for sst, my friend uses for maral hunting for his 300 wm 180 gr bullet and quite successfully. There are available other bullets as accubond, barnes, balistic tip in our area but I will not move to them from a-max until it will be available in our shop. Once it was interesting experience on maral's hunting. I shot downhill about 35 degree a maral on 250 meters with 180 gr barnes mrx from 300 wm. After first shot there was no any reaction, second shot was the same, no reaction and only after third shot the maral run and hided behind trees. It was taken by fourth bullet only. After the opening of the maral all four bullet enters were found but we could not find any bullets because they simply exploded. After that I do not use barnes any more. [/QUOTE]
