Thread: Amaxes, I think im over it

what about some swift scirocco's? Soddy swears by them. Im getting a box off him for a 270win to try.

Im sure you could get them in 30cal

168 A-max at 100m, hair on but you get the idea. Base of the neck.

Yea that looks messy for a neck Mal.
I had some 100gr hollowpoints once that all but a bit of skin severed heads on goats at 20y. Was never game to try them on a deer

Yeah it had travelled into the back straps a bit but it was only a yearling, this is probably one of the worst cases i have had with the 168's.
The same day i shot a spiker at 352m and it was just as bad on exit but luckily not a shoulder shot so everything was fine meat wise.
I have to say i love them, they kill instantly and out of 20 or 30 deer i have had only 1 go more than 5m but she was easy to find with the blood she was losing.

I do like the "idea" of a sirroco but I think ultimately I need to discipline myself not to use the amax so close and push out with the barnes, they work consistently well out to 350 but haven't tried em further yet as my "close load" I have never validated any data further out.

Shhhh! They are shit in 6.5, no one should buy them. I will dispose of them thoughtfully for any who have them, for free
