    Not trying to start a war, but a heavy for caliber amax is a hunting bullet. The only folks I've ever met that disagree hsve never tried them
    Not trying to suck the sugar from your Kool Aid, but I'll never use them on deer again. If you ever shoot a 120 lb doe on the edge of a Southwest Mississippi cutover and that doe adrenaline surges into that cutover 50-60 yds with no exit wound and absolutely no blood trail you might change your mind. Those Mississippi brambles are tuuuuff! Oh, the little deer was shot "in the crease" at bow range with a .308 155 gr AMAX. Is it a killer? Obviously. I guess I just like an exit hole, thus the Sierra 165 gr Gameking I hunt with. However, that AMax it is my go-to load for paper out to 500 yds. Stellar accuracy, no doubt.

    "Do you trust the government?" If the answer is 'Yes,' you can accurately surmise they don't understand the original intent of the 2nd Amendment.
