[QUOTE="aaroncarp, post: 1047741, member: 80044"] He loaded up some 200 AB, 190smk, and some 200tsx.. All just bullets we had laying around to play with in another buddies gun then never got around to it. He did order some 190 bergers yesterday too. As for the A-max question. I heard a lot of mixed opinions on how well they work for hunting. I have never used them for hunting, but I have shot the 208 from my 300RUM to load develop while I was looking for 210 bergers.. I didn't think they flew well at all and they have this cheesy plastic tip on them that makes your OAL super inconsistent. I mean if you can get them to group well from your gun, it might be worth testing them to see if you would want to hunt with them. Because in the end you're still smacking something with 208 grains. On the other hand, I have also seen elk take 3 or 4 pretty well placed shots from 30 cal rifles before finally hitting the ground. My advice would be to spend the extra money for 210 vlds, 200tsx's, or 210 accubond long ranges. All 3 are bullets that have proved to be devastating in the field. [/QUOTE]
