Amax bullets are very consistent. They blow up.

I'm by no means "well to do" but if they shoot and terminally perform I don't really give a rat's a$$ what they cost, I'll use them.

Hell if I know. I just read about it on the internet.


I'm going to screw my 270 barrel back on one of my Ti mountain rifles and give the 150 a go. Wouldn't suck at 2800.

How can you say it pancakes. They are not even on shelf yet, but some how you know they Pancake?


You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

A member was discussing their performance and construction here recently. Remarkably, without anyone even using them yet, let alone seeing them.

Calvin's just goofing on that.

we'll see. Not sure what the bering surface will be like on that sucker. I'll be using '22, but only have a 22" barrel.

What is your bullet of choice sir?


I guess the price per bullet isn't that bad. I would have a hard time spending $50 on the first box on the hope that they would work in my rifle.

Flapjacks! Get your flapjacks!

I'll take a stack of them right here. Thinking the 270 roy should flatten them out real good.
