Hi All.
A max or v max in 223cal for fox are they as good?. I have used vmax and sp home loads but not the Amax.
Do Amax have the same knock down power?.
Thanks Fox man.:confused:

Fox man, I called Hornady's customer support line several months ago and asked their opinion on the A MAX as hunting bullet. The support technician I talked to said, unequivocally, that "Hornady does not recommend the A MAX bullets for hunting because of their unpredictable expansion characteristics. They were made for target shooting." Before being told this by Hornady, I had shot a couple of small predators, fox, raccoon and coyote, with the A MAX, and the bullets punched nice, neat, FMJ-like holes in them. My personal preference is the V MAX, although it can very destructive if you are a hide hunter.
I like A-max bullets a lot for steel and flesh.....they might not be a hunting bullet but they sure play the part when you ask them to.
^^^^^^What he said^^^^^^^^.
This guy didnt complain about it being an A max
Might not be fur friendly though.

I used 100gr 260 AMax for Pdog loads and they were explosive out to 800 yards.
Fixed it for you.Quote:

2 - .... alright
3 - at the same velocity and weight, they carry the same energy. One is designed to yardsale instantly, the other is designed to fly true. How they expend that energy is different.
