[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3065666, member: 15054"] I read that also about the Vmax but also read real world results from people using the bullet. And talked to people that use both of the 55gr Hornadys to harvest many hogs. They love the bullet. they also went on to say the 168 gr .308 usually have to track the hog. I then did a lot of testing including taking a bow/arrow harvested deer head and neck and shooting it too see what happens. Looked like you took a 2" paddle bit and bored a raggedy hole through the neck. That would put the smack down on something. So then we shot coons and skunks and Opossums and seen what it did to them. Then put the smack down on a few coyotes with the 55gr V-Max. Finally we shot deer with it. My loads are not super fast 3200 fps from a 22" barrel and 2800 max velocity from the AR15's with 1:7 twist 16" barrels. Deer and hogs have not walked away from the V-Max impact for me yet..Shot placement and the fact that it penetrated about 2" and then began to come apart like a hand grenade. The above 55gr SP that mushroomed i feel it needs to be more explosive. But it did it's job. [/QUOTE]
