    I use 162amax's through my 7RM Sendero and have found they are best at long range, not because they don't kill at short range but because they make one hell of a mess at short range if you don't hit the right spot. I have heard stories about amaxs shrapnelising on impact and not killing animals but that's only if they strike bone directly and only very occasionally. Strange if your shooting animals at close range and they aren't killing them, sounds like they are staying intact and going through rather than exploding like they normally do.
