im no pro on the subject but if indeed the amax has a thicker jacket it would be the first, all target bullets have thin jackets, its because of the precision needed to make target bullets, if it was a thick jacket it would be a good hunting bullet, but yet they say not for hunting.

its funny how some people kill with an a max but others need a accubond. sometimes i think nobody knows what the hell they are talking about except me, ive always said pick a boolit and put it where it counts, it dont make a darn difference which one.

That is not correct. Most target/match bullets have a thicker jacket, to hold together and not blow up in flight with the faster speeds and tighter twist rates. Some target bullets keep about the same thickness as hunting bullets. Most have thicker jackets than their hunting counterpart bullet by the same mfg.

You need to use something besides dykes to cut with if you want to justify your point, they tend to bend and tear in order to cut.

and i dont see match ammo having anything to do with the geneva convention, that pertains to fmj's

It pertains greatly when it makes the use of HP ammo illegal but when it's Match HP it's ok since it has been deemed a Target bullet.

have no idea
but it doesnt change the fact that target bullets are different and they do have thinner jackets
