[QUOTE="Mr 502, post: 1150573, member: 93771"] My only experience with deer hunting with amax was a 6mm rem with105 amax I reasoned that the sectional density of the bullet would compensate for bullet construction I shot 3 deer that season .One at 430 hit the sholder bone it limped wih a broken shoulder till it could b properly dispactched. Deer 2 was shot at ~105 I sliped it back in the ribs it ran into a thicket, I went to recover it and came on what I thought was her standing within the brush. I threw up and fired another sholder shot out of habit 30 or so yards it ran 300 yards across the neighbors feild without stopping and into a wooded subdivision. I seen her periodically for the next 3 or 4 years with no chance to clean up my mess...the deer at 105 I went back to see if I hit the first shot and found it lying in the brush dead, the rib shot worked textbook with damage similar to a nosler bt. In my defense the brush was a patch about 25 yards across the mistake of thinking the second deer was the first was excusable but using an improper bullet was NOT i'll never make that mistake again..
