[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 907645, member: 1007"] I think that's largely in part due to a lot of other match bullets being used with sub par results. Amaxs are labeled as match bullets which carries a stigma. I believe most that are against them either have never shot game with them or did once and had a bad experience. You can have a bad experience with any hunting bullet as well. I don't hear about bad experiences with amaxs nearly as much as with other bullets. In all of the years the amaxs have been available, there seemingly has been so few complaints I can't remember the half of them. The other thing about them, I have never heard anybody say 'they don't expand'. You'll read that a lot about the SMK, Scenar and VLD but hardly if ever an amax. I remember a couple years ago a member here swore off ever using them again. He shot a buck with an amax and failed to recover the deer. He said it failed to perform. The question was brought up as to how he knew the bullet failed since he never recovered the deer. He never would answer the question. Who knows. He coild have missed him altogether or gut shot him. Often, the complaints about them heard are from the ignorant. [/QUOTE]
