[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1414725, member: 8873"] JE is right for the most part about the larger calibers having tougher bullets that don’t expand as easily. jf is right about penetration, even with the 750 Amax. I have put one through a block of wood over a foot thick @ subsonic velocity. However, I have seen first hand (on many occasions) what even ball ammo (fmj) in a .50 will do to a soft target and I can tell you that it will put the hurt on anything it hits! That Amax has a very impressive BC by the way. I have a buddy that loads the Amax in a .50 Allen Mag, don’t know if he’s shot an animal with it but has some ridiculous ballistics. [/QUOTE]
