I don't dislike the V-Max bullets myself, I killed my buck last week with a 55gr 223 V-Max I just prefer the heavier construction of the Nosler if I can get them, sofar Hornady is more plentifulI did some testing of the 87 V-Max before I ever used it on a live deer.
I have shot a few deer with it since then and all were dead right there or only a couple jumps and then end.
