[QUOTE="Johnboy, post: 551059, member: 20409"] here is one way to look at an A-max.to me I look at the A-max as a NBT.both have poly tips right.its just that the A-max has a better design and BC to go with it. for me if you are able to place the A-max in a good kill zone it will do its job.just as a NBT will.took out a doe last year at 100 with my 30wm useing the 208gn A-max.the bullet went in and came out makeing a hole about the size of a 50 cent pice.I know that its not the same as a 500 or great shoot but really think it will work.after shooting the doe and seeing the exit on the doe.I think that the 208gn bullet will just turn the insides out of a deer just right at greater distances.and like most along with a friend of mine love the 178gn A-max on deer.heck just the weight alone is to much for a deer even an elk I think. for me the berger in my 308 at 168gn's did not open up like I want a bullet to open up at 100 this year.shoot a 170# buck last week at 100 and the low 43gn charge of varget under the 168gn berger VLD just went right through the buck.small hole in and out.but he droped 4 feet away from where he was hit.so I guess just go with your gut.for me even the SMK works great for deer.but cannot say for an elk.its bullet placement more than anything.the bullet does the rest I think. one more thought.some like the Nosler accubond 200 grainer in a 300wm.or the berger might just like another powder of some sort.have you tried 4831 yet?most 300wm's like 4831.
