Unless it blows up on a shoulder and the sheep runs off into a hellhole to die.

162 Amaxs are too darned unpredictable. Why use them when there are so many better bullets out there?

In case anyone asks, I saw the results of a 162 Amax which came apart on a mule deer shoulder (fired from a 280). Some goodies made it into the nearside lung, and killed the deer eventually. It's still what I call a bullet failure.
