    I’ve used plenty of AMax on deer and Tahr (6.5 cal). Although I persist with them, and have never lost an animal with them, my overall assessment is that they are not a good all round bullet. Sometimes penetration can be a bit dodgy. I prefer SST but they don’t calibrate with my ballistic reticle.

    All projectiles seem to have their plusses and minuses though. They are after all mainly just a lump of lead and copper. I don’t fret about them too much.
