Hows THAT for a run-on sentence? grin

My english teacher would be so proud.


Well Tom,

I am sure that stock of 50s will finally disappear down range.. do yourself a favor.. pick up a box of 53s, and when it is time to restock your stash of V Maxes....you'll make the better choice next time...

as for myself, with this shortage, I've sorta standardized on the 40 grain V Maxes, the 53s for longer ranges and for the fast twist 223s and 22.250, the 75 BTHP... with ZERO input from "Yoda" ( that short little fat green Nerd from Craig AK)...as I have found the 75 BTHP to be more accurate than the 75 AMax...

and for the longer ranges still using an AMax, may I suggest the 80s over the 75s.. I pick those up in the 600 count boxes for right around a C Note or less on line...my fast twist 22.250 ( one in 7 twist ) REALLY loves those bullets for reaching WAAAAAY OUT there....and they shoot just great out of a 1 in 9 twist Savage BVSS in 223....( try H 322 or your good old IMR 4895 )
