Thread: Recovered Amax

The way I look at it is that 70grains still smashed its way through both shoulders. If a tiny little 50grain bullet from a .222 can kill so effectively, then 70grains of intact bullet must be more than enough.

That's without even factoring in the massive hydrostatic shock that the other 100grains did in shedding off along the way.

This 162 gr A-Max was recovered from a large red Hind shot at 40 meters, dropped instantly, got up and staggered 25 meters then fell over. I forgot in the rush ( 3 deer on road) to shoot behind shoulder and hit her dead center in the shoulder. Not the ideal performance as the bullet all but blew to pieces but it did work and internal damage was massive. Shot out of my 7mm Mag at just under 3000 fps.
