Most killingest 7mm bullet you’ve used?

[Chris Bull Whacker]

Anyone been able to do much of a comparison between the old 162 AMax and the ELD (M or X)?

There’s this video, but it’s 6.5.

Was looking for an on game comparison, and that video has no mention of the A-max

I have experience with AMAX and ELDM and ELDX. The ELDM is basically an AMAX with a polymer tip, which is an improvement.

The bottom line is the ELDM is the best bullet on game of those 3, especially after 500 yards. The AMAX occasionally had a habit of failing to upset and expand.

The ELDX is a decent bullet but not is not as "killingest" as an ELDM on game at mid-to-long range. The use-case is where you have very hot velocities and want your bullet to hold together slightly better than ELDM.

You mean the heat shield tip? The Amax has/had a polymer tip

I’ve killed elk and deer with 308 168 A-max and 168 eld- m and you cannot tell a difference. The eld will just make the similar wound a bit farther due to the better BC

I think I’m a little over 30 deer and a couple bears nosler partitions 160gr and my dad is more than that. From point blank to 500 yds or so.
