[QUOTE="sbhooper, post: 893223, member: 72297"] An A-max was created as a target bullet pure and simple. It is accurate, but not made to perform on game. Using it on elk is totally irresponsible when there are well-constructed bullets out there. The SST is supposedly an Interlock, but evidently that plastic tip makes it dynamite. I really like Interlocks and Hornady bullets in general, but I have seen them absolutely explode at low velocities on small white-tails. They may work OK if you are going to try to prove something by seeing how far away you can get from an animal before shooting it, but they fail at reasonable ranges. Bottom line is use whatever floats your boat, but it leaves me scratching my head when people want to use weak bullets on elk when there are such good ones available. [/QUOTE]
