[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1249836, member: 87243"] Well, my deer season is over and elk season closes the 14th, so I don't think I will get to try them on big game, however a coyote or two may become the victim of some this winter. But, if someone wants me to, I'm sure I can sacrifice a few milk jugs or phone books or whatever media would be good to compare with for the sake of ballistic experimentation :cool: I have a sneaking suspicion they will be very similar to the A-MAX, which at the velocity I will be shooting, is fine with me, as I have killed 3 elk, 2 deer, and a moose with the .308 168 A-MAX going 2675, all were under 150 yards accept the 2 deer, which were 412 yards and 250 yards, and they performed awesome, all exited accept one of my 2 shoulder hits on my moose, and it was a square shoulder shot so I'm not surprised it didn't exit. I would start to be concerned about close range shots if my impact velocity was much over 3000 fps, But I have seen good performance with the A-MAX in the velocity range I will be using them at.
