[QUOTE="adrexco, post: 1332555, member: 88101"] The jackets are too thin on the A-max for consistent penetration. When Hornady first released them they noted them as not for hunting. You can get away with them on thin skinned game but I would be leery of them on thick skinned game, especially ones that fight back. And yes, I've killed several deer with A-Max before switching away from using them to hunt. None fully penetrated and only pieces were found. Use what you want but I would look for something with a bit heavier jacket construction. [/QUOTE]
