[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1139129, member: 87243"] Yup. I have killed 2 elk and 2 buck mule deer with the AMAX, only 1 was over 200 yards. And all of them, even the 418 yard shot, were complete pass throughs. My small bull elk this year was broadside at 180 yards and I hit him square in the shoulder. Broke him down and passed through. My cow year before last was 80 yards broadside, and was hit top of the heart in the shoulder, DRT. BUT I am using a 308 shooting a 168 at 2675. If this bullet was in a 300 RUM going 3300...I would seriously rethink using it. After doing a lot of research, talking to other hunters using this bullet, I have found that an AMAX will perform very well and consistently, if impact velocity is below about 2800fps. You start getting over that, and penetration decreases and fragmentation increases. This can be a wonderful hunting bullet....but know its limitations and where it excels, and use it accordingly [/QUOTE]
