I just picked up some 6.5mm 120 gr. Hornady A-Max bullets for my .260 Remingtons. Anyone use these as a hunting bullet, or is this strictly a target bullet?? How do they hold up compared to the SST or Interbond?? I have been loading the 120 gr. Sierra Pro Hunters and have been happy with the performance. How will they compare?? | ||

Amax has killed lots of game. Dicey bullet though. If shooting what most would consider to be "long range," you'll be fine with them. Up close, I wouldn't trust them...(under 200 yards). Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns | |||

It's a target bullet and not a hunting bullet.....pure and simple. That said a lot of deer are killed with them every year.....who knows how many run off suffering from surface wounds. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Nebo I would like to sugest you try the Hornady 129 Spire pt in your 260. Excellent deer bullet. If you want a tougher bullet for larger game give the125 gr Nosler Partion a try. | |||
