I just picked up the Hornady Reloading 7th edition and it recognizes the Amax as a hunting bullet!! About time what we have already knew worked no longer needs to be debated! The website still has a note about hunting with match bullets but page 101 of the 7th edition states the #30502 & # 30712 Amax (168&178 grain) is a Target-Match, varmit, medium and large game bullet! The .243 105 grain,155 grain .308 & 6.5 140 grain Amax is rated up to medium game.

This maybe explains why they came out with a 208gr BTHP match .30cal bullet, so they can fill Gov. contracts with the new BTHP 208 and can now call the Amax208 a hunting bullet.
I don't know this to be a fact but I've read they can't use "Hunting" rated bullets in military ammo.
