Zeke-BE Report post Posted April 10, 2016 I'm in the process of building a load for my 300 WinMag. I have Berger 210s but I've heard enough stories and have a buddy who himself had 2 occasions that his berger 210s did not expand. I know people swear by them but I've been scared off. Hornady has these new non melt tips that are more superior. The 208 EDL match is supposed to be replacing the Amax. I've heard only good things from people on other sites and this site talk about the Amax. But I guess the Amax wasn't a hunting round but is still performs very well. Supposedly they have the 200 and 212 ELD x for hunting but I dint know this nor was there any around. If the Amax was good should I just go ahead and load these for hunting?

DesertBull Report post Posted April 10, 2016 I have killed several deer, a Barbary sheep, and half a truck load of pigs with the AMAX and none of them ever took a single step after being hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like amax (EDL match) blow up more like ballistic tips and the EDL hunter comes apart from the jacket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drcarr Report post Posted April 20, 2016 I have a great 200grn Accubond loading for my 300 Win Mag... it took me a few years to change from Partition's to Accubond's... I think I'll wait a bit more before investing in either ABLR's or the ELDX's........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
