[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4095445, member: 15054"] I have harvested many deer over many years with all kinds of bullets and calibers. I will say this. 55gr V-max .224" diameter is by far the best I have ever used on hogs or deer. I have done the heart shot with it and get deer that run but only 40 yards at most. No lung shots no shoulder shots with it. Proper Neck shots are my choice. Bang flop. Hogs get one behind the ear and it is bang flop. I have used the Lead tipped 55gr Hornady and it performs terrible in my .223 rifles for killing. It is not explosive like the V-max and stays together and makes a mushroom. I absolutely will never again use it on any critter. Hate it. My velocities are between 2700 and 3100 fps on critters with the .223 and the V-max or the Lead tipped 55gr Hornady. Maybe more velocity will improve the tougher made bullets bang flop ratio. The V-max gets in 2 inches or so then begins to come apart like a hand grenade. [/QUOTE]
