Several have mentioned using 708s and 308s with them. These chamberings rarely tear bullets up. Start pushing them at magnum speeds and the target bullets are iffy. Using a heavy for caliber target bullet will buy you a lot of leeway. Using a lighter one at high velocity makes for spectacular kills and disastrous wounds if things don't go right.
The picture of the recovered bullet above was fired from a 7WSM launching them at just under 3100 fps. It was the only one recovered that day, even though the load was used on more than one elk, with more than one shot on some, because the other bullets exited. One particular mule deer that I killed was shot at 40 yards using the same 162 AM fired from the 7WSM at 3112 fps muzzle velocity. The bullet went through both shoulder blades and exited the slight angling shot, leaving a 1.5" exit hole. No excessive damage in the wound channel.
The AM is a C&C bullet, and just like any other C&C bullet heavy for caliber bullet weights should go along with magnum velocities to avoid bullet disintegration. Your comment is not exclusive to the AM or target-style bullets in general.
