[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 649322, member: 10832"] A-max's are a target bullet but because of that they have a great BC and they expand well. This is the big advantage for LR shooting. With most premium hunting bullets, I am not sure about this with the Game King, you need down range velocity of 1800-2000 fps to ensure acceptable expansion for terminal performance. Many will argue that those minimums still aren't enough and will use 2000-2100 fps. With the A-max though you get great expansion down to 1100-1500 fps depending on what caliber and bullet you are shooting. This is a big range extender and the extra terminal benefits are exactly what I look for in a hunting bullet. Do a search on them here. Lots of good info if you are interested. The bergers are meant to shed most of their weight by design but are not supposed to come apart until they are 2-3 inches inside. A 300 weatherby at 50 yards is a pretty nasty test for most big game bullets. My guess is that you would be happier if you saw performance at normal distances. Scot E. [/QUOTE]
