    Performance was perfect, it expanded well at a low velocity and it obviously killed the deer. A harder projectile might not have expanded much and just penciled through with minimal damage.
    The a-max is a projectile that you need to think about before you pull the trigger. They are not the best projectile for a south - north shot on a big stag at close range, but they are awesome on a broadside shot at 300 yds plus.
    I personally use an accubond or barnes up close but my longrange load is an amax.
