They also work very well at long range. This is my buddies wife with a Coues Deer she shot at 680 yards a couple years ago with a 120 Amax out of her .260 Rem. I was fortunate to watch this kill happen through 20 power Steiners and the shock waves that went through the deer was incredible. It was like throwing a rock in a pond. The deer dropped right where he stood. It was awesome, The Amax and the 6.5 are definitely hard on animals.
