[QUOTE="jrw1976, post: 435970, member: 24286"] I shot an 3 point muley this weekend using a 162 Amax thrown from my sons 7mm rm at just over 300 yards and it worked beautifully. It was poor shot placement and range judgement because I had all of 20-25 seconds to setup judge the range and and calm enough to make the shot because that buck wanted no part of what was going to happen next. The buck was leaving the area in a 2 o-clock direction so he was quartering away and going up a hill, but after I whistled at him he stopped just long enough for me to squeeze the trigger. I placed the shot directly in the spine behind the front shoulder which exploded the spine and blew 2 ribs off of either side of the spine. Which blew chunks of bone into the heart and lungs. After going through all that bone the bullet came to rest under the skin on the other side weighting 106.8 grains. Which to me is very impressive considering all the bone that bullet had to go through. So if you ask me the 162 Amax really does its job at least when it is being flung out of my sons 7mm that is.
