There are probably thousands of things taken with Amax every year in this country alone however my preference is always Vmax for their expansion for lighter stuff. I am still struggling to find a good 6,5mm 120-130 grain bullet with consistent expansion.

Not intended to derail thread
Used Amax myself for vermin
You have missed a couple of harsh frosts here.

Nothing against Amax but it still remains fact that they are illegal for use on game as the law currently stands in the U.K regardless of their suitability, so best just leave it well alone on public access forums

Makes a change for the better weather to be here but to be honest don't really care what it does up here as it's great to just wind down and get away from it all with the occasional stalk thrown in for good measure
