[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 28535, member: 8947"] The problem you may face is not expansion but over expansion. The Amax is a lightly constructed bullet not designed for high vel. impact into game. My tests have shown that they penetrate 2/3 as much as a Nosler BT at high impact vel. So from a win mag, the potential for impacts at close range of 3000fps is there. That would not be the best thing for this bullet. If impact vel are around 2500fps and slower, this will make an excellent deer bullet. For LR shots, this bullet would be very good. Just use the bullet appropriately... Jerry [/QUOTE]
