[QUOTE="backyardsniper, post: 858696, member: 20657"] Scot, Thanks for the reply. That is indeed some useful information. A lot of it I already knew or heavily speculated on. I also had been thinking very heavily on carrying two loads, the close shot is what worried me. Also, as you mentioned waiting for proper angle especially with highly frangible bullets is very important. You have helped to back up a lot of the thoughts I had on this subject. Like you I have had great success with them on whitetail, but have just never tested their metal if you will on anything larger and heavier. I run a detachable magazine on my rifle so running two different rounds will be simple. I will probably run an accubond or some form of heavier bonded bullet for my 200yd and closer load and keep a magazine of amax for the opportunity for longer shooting if I can get another bullet to shoot very close to the same point of impact as the amax.
