My Shamu loves amaxs, and the 162's are like pringles, once you pop you cant stop . And yes, I stole Minitucky from you...get over yourself Not sure I wanna sport amaxs for Moose this year, but I can always substitute a *shudder* accubond*
If I were smart enough, which apparently I'm not

I just got 200 AMAXes in for the 280, and it ain't going to be enough. Wish they'd sell them in boxes of 600...
Didn't one of those guys up in AK poke some holes in some swamp donkeys with the AM? I can't grow the ballbag to spend 35-40 bucks on 50 Accubonds.

It's pretty simple, ain't it, Bob? As a general rule of thumb, as bore diameter goes up, the potential BC values also go up. There really are no "cursed" calibers, it's just that more R&D has been put into designing good, high-BC bullets for some calibers than others. Jordan based on my limited knowledge of such things, it sure seems that's the case.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

If he appears closer than that, I'll drive a 140TTSX through his front shoulder. I know what you mean about the Pringles thing. When the wind starts to gust, the 140PH FF load goes back in the range bag, and the 162's come out to play.

FWIW Ive seen bull moose fall to 223's, and nuisance bears dropped with 223 and 22-250's. Most werent lung shots though. Like I was telling Jordan, if I see a runt blackie close enough and the Twintucky is in tow i'll likely sting him with a 75 . Thats if work unbolts the shackles off my feet

I've got 1300 162's sitting on the shelf, which should get me through the summer. Come fall, I'm not gonna hesitate to ventilate Bullwinkle with an AM if I get the chance... I mind the price when talking about practice bullets, but I fire maybe 10-15 hunting bullets through each rifle every year, so a few extra dollars for the good stuff ain't gonna kill me

The smaller AM like the .224 75gr and the .243 105gr go for about $28-29 a box, but the 162 goes for $38.99 plus 5% tax where I'm at.

Does Raggedy Ann have a cloth p**sy?! That's a good one too...
Crazy that the cost jumps up that much.
