Used the original 168s and 175 grain MK in a 7RM and they were wildly erratic at close range and tended to produce lots of blood shot meat. Typically a plastic tip can make the bullets expand even more rapidly. If the tip is the only difference I would think they would be a bomb at close range.
A good thing for extreme ranges but not so much for brush hunting.
This doesn't seem to hold true for the Amax for some reason possibly a thicker jacket.
I would use a ballistic tip if you wanted a plastic tip bullet for general hunting use.
So I haven't tried them but doubt I will after my experiences with the regular MKs.
"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
