Simply amazingly. I shoot the 162 A-max out of a 280 AI and my dad does as well out of his 7mm Weatherby Remingtong 700. We both got PA bucks and a doe this year with this bullet at ranges from 50 yards to 250. Deer all died within 40 yards showing excellent performance. Not sure who can dispute these results especially after never trying one themselves. Just use them, shoot a deer, and become a believer.


I do believe in the A-Max for deer been using the 178gr 30 cal and 105 243 A-Maxs for years. What twist barrel are on your 7MM's I know the Wby is a 1-9" twist, what's your 280AI. The box has 1-8" twist on it that's why I asked. You can give up a little on the twist when you drive the bullets faster. Want to see how the work out of the 7-08 at the 7-08 velocity. I have used the 162gr SPBT in my sons 7-08 with it shooting one hole group at 100 yards. I know the A-Max has more bearing surface and wonder if that is why they say 1-8 twist
