Thread: 155gr Amax in 300 WSM

I used 155 Amax in my 30/284 at 3220 out of a 28 inch barrel .I shot 2 animals with both went down with no dramas . I would caution using them at close range ,the pig i shot at 31 yards had a very large entry hole and the bullet did not pass through the chest . Given the it hit behind the shoulder and only had ribs to deal with and the pig wasn't large 80lbs ish i got away with . A if the shot isnt placed right say on a large stag or big pig hit in the shoulder it might not kill as well. I think for under 50 yards i be careful or use another bullet .
