A fair number of you came down pretty hard on "just the idea" of hunting elk with A-Max bullets. Don't worry, my skin is tough and it doesn't bother me. Your scorn at "just the idea" of doing this firmly confirmed my suspicions that this wasn't a good thing to do. Honest opinions are the only ones I wanted and the only ones that are important. THANKS fellas. The A-Maxs are on he shelf and the 160 ABs are loaded and ready for range work. Am trying a few 160 PTs just for kicks as well. Appreciate the input.
