Despite what TACKERMAN has said, the AMAX was designed to be used in competition, not for hunting. My experience n .308 has proven the AMAX far superior to BTHP. These are excellent bullets. For hunting purposes I would use Hornadys SST (Super Shock Tipped) bullets. THESE are the bullets from hornady that are comparable to Noslers Ballistic Tip. The SST's drop large game instantly! I don't think that I would use a bullet designed for competition on animals, regardless of its similarities to a Ballistic Tip. If possible use the SST.
