I've used 75gr Swift, 64gr Power Points, 62gr TSX and 70gr TSX. I've seen 53gr Barnes in action too.
62gr Barnes are my favorite, though I do like the 75gr Swift quite a bit.
Have you shot any with the 75 Amax?
Did you see it in the list?
That made me laugh.
I've never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, but I have used the 75 amax a bit on critters. Not a lot of variation on terminal results, everything died in short order. Mind you, I fling them out of a Montana 223AI, so that makes every bullet way more uber.
I've smacked more than a few coyotes with it, and have yet to see them do anything other than fold up in a ball. Usually with a significant exit wound....
Have shot/seen shot several whitetails with it, from 12 yards (pretty big buck that heard me walking through a patch of brush and ran right up to me as I was trying to push him out for the neighbors kid) which got shot in the chest. Bullet made it into stomach, and at 25 degrees below freezing I wasn't going digging for it. Buddy of mine shot a big whitetail in my field at 319 yards, which was his first 22cf deer. "Where do you want me to shoot this thing???" "Bust shoulders. Trust me."
Bang flopped so quick that he lost track of it in the scope. Dug the bullet out of the bone on the inside of the offside shoulder, weighed 39 grains and change IIRC.
Been a few others, and a couple/few black bears. One was pretty big (fall bear) that a girlfriends dogs put up in my yard, that took exception to me being there.
Probably one of the ONLY times I was out on my place without a rifle. Run back to the house, and that one was closest to the door, so that was the one that went back out.
That was the only shot I've taken that I *think* might have ended quicker had I been carrying a heavy rifle (like a 243AI / 105 Amax). That one, the shot presented was a hole through the trees at maybe 75 yards, where I could see his head, and when he turned it square broadside to me I shot him very carefully at the butt of his ear. Not exactly sure how, but I dropped that shot low and left by a couple of inches and didn't put it through his brain. I DID however put it through the bones in the top of his mouth and blow his teeth out on the top. It did hit him hard enough to crack his skull, but not hard enough to scramble his eggs. Bang flopped him, but he was still almost able to move when I walked up. I tend to think that a 105 Amax would have killed him with the same placement, but that's just a guess.
The second one at 15-ish yards went in behind the close shoulder, and OUT in the back of the offside one, but I don't think any bone was hit.
Incidentally, I found the first bullet stuck in an aspen tree behind where he was standing (after seeing the exit, I started looking), and it weighed about 35 grains.
