Unless there's overwhelming reports of poor performance I'll give them a go and see how my results turn out. I bought a couple boxes the other day so I guess they're still available.

I have also wondered about the 155 Amax... Having said that I developed a load with the 150gr BT and haven't looked back. Have shot a lot of deer up-close in the bush with them. They break the shoulders and normal exit farside. Also stretched them out to 375yds with impressive results. This is with a MV of 2735 if i remember correctly. The Amax is definitely cheaper but for the number of rounds I go through hunting im happy paying the extra cost.
