[QUOTE="AKBman, post: 985358, member: 898"] At ranges less than 600 yards, or even 700 yards for that matter, is there any clear advantage to shooting the 208gr A Max in my 300 Win Mag as opposed to a 180gr Sierra Boattail in the Gameking line? It really looks like the advantages don't really show up until you hit the 800 yard mark. I know for hunting, I wouldn't use the A Max on anything but coyotes at less than 600 yards, they are just too fragile and really grenade at ranges less than that. Just trying to get my long range shooting back in hopes of drawing an Oryx tag next year, and maybe getting back to Alaska for a caribou hunt. I'm getting over 3000 fps with the 180s, and close to 2800 with the 208s. Dave [/QUOTE]
