The A-Max is a target bullet and is very fragile at high speeds, whereas Berger makes both target and hunting models of the same exact bullets.

Completely agree with your post. I haven't used A-Max for hunting, but the Hornady site lists them as "explosive expansion with limited penetration ". They do not recommend them for hunting (though I have read some posts where folks swear by them for LRH).
Just for sake of clarity, note that the Berger's line is opposite - their target bullets have thicker jackets and are less likely to expand than their hunting bullets. I'll bet you know this but figured I'd put it out there in case anyone draws inferences due to the comparison to the A-Max.
