If you support Nathan Foster and all his findings (some here dont), he speaks VERY highly of the Amax in a 7mm-08. Based on what he has seen, since impact velocity is below 2600 (that's basically MV), they behave pretty much like a cup N core.

I had slight reservations, and once they discontinued the Amax, I decided to look at other alternatives. I plan to load up the 145 LRX for most uses, esp when meat hunting. I'll also load up a 150 LRAB for more on the trophy hunting end since this will be my MTN rifle as well.
