Have not tried them in 7mm, but they work fine in a 308. The Amax is soft and frangible, so often it does not pass through especially if the shot is close where it will fragment more. They are good for heart/lung shot placement. I prefer the SMK's which penetrate better as I tend more toward the high shoulder on large deer, but both are effective.
Because these discussions occur over and over, I made a video with each bullet. My wife is running the rifle. The shot placement on the deer is at the base of the neck at the crease with the shoulder impacting the spine. The pig is shot at the base of the ear.
