In my experience, the Amax is tougher than the SST. You will probably be fine from a 308, but avoid bone.
I have had SSTs come apart and not penetrate the offside with broadside lung shots in a 7mm Remington magnum, 30/06 and a 6.5/06. I've had Amax bullets exit from shoulder shots and tough angle shots with my 6.5/06 and 280 AI.
