Yep, I shoot the 162 Amax.
IMR 7828 (over book max), 3240fps, sub 1" at 200 yrds.

In the categories of accuracy/cost/BC, I think it is an outstanding bullet.
Performance on game, in my experience, is decisive. The bullet is pretty fragile and dumps alot of energy quickly. I don't hesitate to use it on deer, but if you worry about meat damage, you may want to keep it off the shoulder.
