....Alot more effective than coughing out big heavy for caliber turds that have more arc to the target....
That doesn't pass scrutiny.
Compare a 50gr VMax at 4000 fps, to a 75gr AMax at 3400 fps.
At 600 yards, the 50gr VMax has a max ord of 19.8" at 341 yards. At 600 yards, the 75gr AMax has a max ord of 19.4" at 326 yards.
To 600 yards or so the trajectories are rather similar, but the 75 is already way ahead in defeating wind, and retaining energy. Past 600 yards, the 75 smokes the 50 like a cheap cigar.
