[QUOTE="joel0407, post: 813692, member: 13863"] I use the 208 Amax on everything I shoot with my 300RUM. The are pretty thin jacketed bullet but at close range there is just so much energy that they will cleanly kill most things. At long range you need a light jacketed bullet to perform as the velocity has dropped of so much. By long range I mean 1000m+. I'd be more concerned shooting buffalo or the like at close range as the light jacketed Amax might fragment too much and not penatrate. For that I use cast bullets in my 45/70 though. As "Wachsmann" said, shot placement is the key. I know how the 208 Amax shoots in my gun and it's all I have used. Happy Days. [/QUOTE]
