songdog,

Sometimes things happen, even under ideal conditions and the bullet ends up somewhere other than where it was intended to go.
Thats why you "Plan for the worst, and hope for the best".

But you go ahead and do as you will, hoping all present the perfect broadside senario.
I will continue to use the PT, ensuring I'm good with any possibility should it be required.

This attitude leads to far more wounded and un-recovered game...... than bullet selection does. If you think you can start a bullet in a bad place..... and drive it into a good one..... then you're into taking shots that I'm not. If I have to start a bullet in the paunch or hip.... to make it through both lungs (hard quartering away), then that ain't a shot I'm taking regardless of caliber.

I don't take a shot with a rifle..... that I wouldn't take with a bow (though I will admit to taking the necessary "high shoulder shot" with a rifle). Meaning: if I don't have a good look at both lungs.... then I'm not hitting the switch. I hunt out west, mostly.... and nearly all the game I've shot, I've had a good look at before pulling the trigger. I've waited over an hour to take a shot several times.... my style of hunting affords me this opportunity. You may be 'sound shooting' at deer you can't even see for all I know.... understandably, your requirements in bullets would be different than mine. I'm not telling you what bullet to shoot, why do you care what pill I smoke? Though I'd rather load-up a goat turd and send it.... than a Partition.

Careful,,,you're making a whole lot of assumption's! And we are way beyond what they say about assumption's here.
I don't care what you use, what I care about is the promotion of it as a do all bullet, when it is not.

I still think it's hillarious, that I posted a link to 30+ big game critters getting shot with the Amax. Most of which got pole-axed... and most of the bullets exited... by the way. I also stated my own personal experience on half-dozen more. YET.... no one here could state, or even find, a specific example of an Amax failure on game.

Just do a search,,, there will be examples of success and failures, all over the net. The question is, how many a chance's of possible failure is one willing to take. Personally I like to eliminate those chance's as much as possible.


And I'm the one who's speculating?

For me,,,it boils down to what was simply said by JD.

There are also examples of Partition failures..... you going to quit shooting them?

Furthermore..... I'm not assuming anything.... I'm making a point about different bullet requirements for the same game. If your worried about tanking one into the grass bag.... then there ain't a bullet that's going to change the tide for you.

I hate the "just in case argument". Bad shots are bad shots.... 99% are caused by poor judgement (lack of judgement is also considered poor judgement) in regards to trigger pressing. A good bullet in a bad spot.... doesn't even trump a marginal bullet in a bad spot..... they're like the 7 & 8 of clubs. I have total confidence in the Amax to break the shoulder of a deer... and have plenty of sauce left for breather/pumped wreckin'.

Please share your details of Partition failures.

Here's one:

and another:
http://www.outdoorsdirectory.com/akforu ... /27980.htm

Use of the Google will yield all kinds of stuff....... that's what I'm saying. Who knows what really happened..... you can always find an example somewhere. No one has even bothered to try that regarding the amax on game.... in 6 pages here. If they did..... they'd realize there ain't a lot of dirt to be dug up..... in fact, the overwhelming response is high praise for the Amax on game. But, who wants to listen to guys who've actually done it..... when you can sit around and guess.

And your response is typical "I can't provide any examples of your bullets actually failing........ but mine have never failed" answer.... then sidestepping the rest of the argument. Quite frankly, I expect a little more from you.

Songdog,

I am not going to engage with you and your petty behavior.
If you want to play hard ball, you will lose.
