    I have shot them out of my 7Rum at 3200 fps. Shot a hind at about 320 yds, killed it. Shot a stag at 560yds killed it.

    I think Tuiman has a fair amount of experience with these. Might be worth PM'ing him

    I use to use them and they use to flatten anything at distance doing 3350fps. I used a different load for close stuff

    Did you have them blow up close? They're only doing 3060fps
    Out of my lrm other option is amax/accubond combo

    Never used them at close range as I was advised not to . I use accubonds at close range . Amax are a devastating round at long range they would be better to use if your doing those speeds just my opinion.
