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


My son-in-law shot an antelope with a .30-06/168g A-MAX at about 100 yards. Hit it high and facing. The A-MAX destroyed the left strap and most of the ham. We've found TTSX and AB kill just as reliably but with far less destruction.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
