At Jordan's recommendation I tried the 105 HPBT. Its accuracy is stellar, and it does seem tougher (though it's a sample of only one antelope so far). They're reasonably priced too.

I've pondered building a 6x45 to use up the rest of my Amax bullets. whistle


Sounds like a good plan.

The HPBT does hold together a bit better than the AM, IME.
