The tech line at Hornady told me that the A max (maximum accuracy) bullets are a ballistic tip match bullet that should not be used in hunting. That being said, the Hornady manual says 30 cal A-max are approved up to CPX2 class game (light skinned; or deer sized). I know a lota people the have anchored deer with match bullets, so I'm sure they will work. I probabaly wouldn't use them in a shot over say 400 yards, because of they are not tested for expansion. No guarntees, but in my experience a 30 caliber hole through the vitals will usually kill anything in the lower 48.
