Anyone know the low velocity threshold for opening a 155 or 168 Amax on deer-sized game? I'm shooting these out of a 1:12 handgun, so mv is low, and I'm looking wondering whether 1600 is too slow to open on deer or bigger.

I haven't put any through the gun yet, but this is what I was hoping to hear. There's a local shop that just got a bunch of 168s in.
I've seen that soft bullets at slow speed act like hard bullets at fast speed, i.e. they open in a controlled manner, fragment much less, and make a long wound channel.
I'm really "surprised" you've never shot said bullet.
Laughing!............

I haven't shot said gun. I wait until I have them before I shoot them. Maybe it works different in AK. As far as 30 cals go, I'm not all horned up for the 308, so much of my jacketed bullet testing and hunting has been with 180+. Why shoot a BC .47 when I can shoot a BC .57?
The only thing you shoot is your mouth and Imagination,though in no particular order.
Feel free to Pretend about "all" your 30cal bullet "testing",in any chambering you are comfortable to Imagine. It will be funny!
Yep...them 168's are "rare".
Laughing...............

It IS a hilarious constant,that them who do the least...get horned up the first.
I reckon it plum awkward for you to Pretend about bullets.

Weren't even fair...which is about how I like to roll...............(grin)

Good shooting, Jeff. I've been researching that shot this year, and planning to give it a try during the hunt. I've always been a heart/lungs/ribs shooter, and I prefer to shoot soft bullets.
Roughly how big would you call the kill zone right there where the cervical meet the thoracic vertebrae? I don't like to waste any meat if I can help it, so I avoid shoulders.
It is hilarious you ask someone else how big a Deer's head is,so you can Pretend with bullets you've never shot,to salve your Imagination.
THAT is phuqqing funny!....................
