[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 172288, member: 1007"] I would say that the maximum shoulder shot velocity should be kept to a minimum. The AMAX is a very explosive bullet. I have tested the 178 AMAX and found that it has reliable expansion at 1100 FPS. This is near the transonic zone. I would say that if you can hit your target with the nose first (supersonic velocities or at the transonic wall) that you will see reliable expansion. I wouldnt recomend a shoulder bone impact at any velocity with the 155 AMAX. Stick to the rib cage and you will not see a deer travel very far if any distance at all. Hope that helps some. [/QUOTE]
