No big game critters past the 635, just steel and targets. And yes, they do keep pace with each other out to 1,000 on steel and paper targets. That is as far as I have ran either one. The questions were if the AMAX is a good bullet for hunting close and far, which it is. I have killed deer at 550 yards with 120 grain bullets shot out of a 7mm-08, so the 7mm mag is just getting warmed up at that range. The problem is getting tags to kill such critters. ;o) Flinch

I was looking to see how they did on elk. Thanks anyways, your about were I'm at distance on elk. My longest big game kill was on a blacktail at 892 yards with a 195 grain wildcat bullet out of a 270AM. By the way My boy still shooting that .257 Wby.

The questions were if the AMAX is a good bullet for hunting close and far, which it is. First off, Flinch, thanks for the information on the terminal effects of the 7 A-max. I've never hunted with 'em, and just picked up a few, so this is a serious question for you or others who've used them on game. Running them at 7 mag. velocities, do close-in shots give you reason for pause?

OK, thanks, these are just off the truck, recent vintage. Are you talking deer, or larger? Worst-case for me would be elk.

Flinch/Larry: Thanks for info on the 162Amax.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Long range you say! Well I find it hard to override the ability of the .300-RUM using a 180 (3340-fps) grain Nosler Accubond bullet for hunting sake. I do not need a brake on this particular rifle and load. Now the .338-Edge is a horse of a different color and heavier, meant for stationary work only in my humble opinion.

The 155 Scenar has the same BC and you'll gain 25grs of speed.
Just sayin'................

25 grains of speed????
and here I have a pound of powder that has 7000 grains of speed, standing still...
and to think, an 8 lb jug of powder would therefore have 56000 grains of speed standing still...
Amazing.. just simply amazing...
and who'd a thunk it???
So Gang, see what you can think about when you get to endure 8 months of cabin fever each winter!
Thanks Schtick.. those are nice facts to know..
how did I ever get along in life up to this point not knowing those sort of facts???

I imagine him snowbound in the old Big Schtick Shack for 6 to 8 months out of the year... and imagine that his link to the rest of the world is the internet and 24 hour campfire...

Thanks Schtick.. those are nice facts to know..
how did I ever get along in life up to this point not knowing those sort of facts??? "25grs of speed" is factored by the modest 155 Scenar's bearing surface and overall mass,as extrapolated to the 180 AccuBomb in regards to same. She's got far more drag/mass and the only chronograph that won't realize those facts reliably,is the Imaginary one housed betwixt your ears. 180grs minus 155grs,reliably yields 25grs and them differences at like BC,constitute less drop/drift,due simply to the increase in speed at like pressure. Keep that Imagination cranked up,you're doing soooooooooooooo "well"..................

I see the above bait worked like a charm... Sorry Schtick... you make it too easy.. I'm spending too much time having fun at your expense... that anonymous PM I got about Child Abusin' you was spot on.. child abuses is immoral, even when the child is over 40...
