Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Most explosive 50 grain varmint bullet in the 223?

Hi guys,

I'm getting ready for the whistle pig season, so doing some reloading. We have two kinds here, one about the size of those little juice cans and one about the size of a regular pop can. I've been shooting 50 grain Vmax bullets out of my 1 in 14 twist 223, and not quite getting the performance I'd like on the bigger pigs. I've tried more speed with 40 grain Vmax with about the same performance. Is there something more explosive than the Vmax? Thinking about the SPSX or Blitz, but would like recommendations based on experience where you compared to Vmax bullets.
