Most deer shot around 500 to 600 yards in the shoulder, and the 162 Amax really puts the hurt on, smashing everything in there, bone included.

    Ill be going straight to the eldm when my Amax stock is eventually gone, its supposed to be the closest to the Amax.
    They work just as well in close too. I’ve shot a few with 7mmrum and still use them with 7mmremmag and they are just like RPG’s. Massive damage.
