SMK's are an OTM (open tip match) bullet and while I have killed a lot of deer with them, and would again, they are a bit inconsistent in tissue. A-Max's on the other hand are phenomenal medium game bullets if you desire quick expansion and are very consistent in performance.


For someone to say that A-Max's are "match" bullets and are not "hunting" bullets is just willful ignorance or downright BS. They are constructed identically, if not softer, than quite a few "hunting" bullets. One could say that they do not care for the tissue damage that A-Max's produce and that would be understandable.
