Had a hunter use Amax bullets on elk hunt a few years ago. Not a good bullet for that. Took 30 hours to finally catch up with his bull
First bullet exploded on impact with shoulder. Zero penetration.
If you find a good performer, stick with it.
Of you can push the 156 to 3000 fps it will work fine. Some day you have to do the tips out. I prefer my bullets ready to shoot out of box.
