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.
It never ceases to amaze me the number of people that'll spend 50K on a 4x4 truck, tens of thousands on hunts, clothing, boots, guns, scopes, etc. to support their hunting hobby then use a cheap ass bullet to save 50 cents when that bullet's the one thing determines whether that hunt is a success or failure.
