[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 61902, member: 10"] Western Rifleman, I have shot the 105 A-Max quite a bit in my larger 6mm rounds and have been inpressed with it when used in the 3200 to 3300 fps range at max and anything under this. They expand very well on varmint size game and predators even out to extreme range compared to the Sierra Mk 107 gr bullets. Still, living in Montana, I would not recommend them for use on deer size game simply because our mature whitetails and mule deer will often top 300 lbs on the hoof. TO be honest I do not endorse any 6mm for our area still they can be used to good effect if used properly. I have found in my fast twist 3 groove Lilja barreled 6mm-284 that anything over 3250 fps caused these bullets to drop accuracy significantly whereas the 107 gr Mk could be driven to 3550 fps with fine accuracy. We have had this discussion on this board and we believe it has something to do with the 3 groove rifling system as others on the board are driving the 105 gr A-Max to 3500 fps with fine accuracy in standard 6 groove barrels. Again, for varmints up close or at extreme range, this is a great bullet. For pronghorn or deer in the 150 lb range, again they will work very well with chest shots. On large northern deer I would not use them. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
