New guy here, but not new to the Max. Developed primarily as a round for the silhouette game is has proven to be an excellent round for hunting. Unfortunately I have not taken any game with mine as the eyes just ain't as good as they used to be. A couple of places you can get some more info on it as a hunting round is at Singleactions.com and Rugerforum.com. Look for posts by David Bradshaw. The man has probably shot more Max rounds at silhouettes and game than you and I may ever do. Coogs
