I finally got around to picking up some 140g Amax's in 6.5mm. Have any of you guys used them on deer before? I've avoided them for a while because the box says 1:7.5 twist and all of my 6.5's are 1:9.
Anyways, I tried a few in my 264 win mag and they are showing some potential at 3150-3200 fps. I drew a rifle tag for Idaho's unit 54 and I'm planning on using the 264. The only buck I've shot with the 264 was with a 140g Hornady sp at 3200fps muzzle. Range was only 150 yards or so and the bullet blew right though showing little expansion until right as it exited.
I'm liking the high BC of the Amax and hoping for more expansion than the soft point but don't want it to totally explode on impact if I end up getting a closer shot.
