Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles 55 grain V-max for deer?

Hi new to the forum and have a new bushmaster ORC carbine with Telestock. Has anyone here shot a deer with a 55 grain Vmax? I was going to take a deer this year and wondered if these would work. My bushmaster shoots them pretty good about 2 inches at 100 meters. It does not shoot other heavier bullets as well. I have a Buris E1 3x9x40 in a buris pepper mount on it. Is this a good choice?

55 is not a heavy bullet.

Vmax is a varmint bullet. I personally would not use them, I"d use moer along the lines of a partition, 63 semi point, or my personal choice typically being a TTSX of whatever weight works.

That being said I"ve shot enough with 75 bthp match bullets that they work fine too, BUT They are thicker skinned.

IF this is what you are going to use, and 2 inches at 100 yards is not imho an accurate load, but its sufficient for 100 yards easily, then make sure you stay off bone on the entry and expect the possibility of a huge exit hole and severe damage to whatever it hits, assuming it has the ability to penetrate far enough into the body, before disintegrating.

Hopefully someone will chime in thats actually shot em though.

What twist barrel do you have?

^^^^^^^^^

What he said.

Or you could buy a 30-30 to deer hunt with.

Are you a sock puppet?

I can't imagine you would consider this even remotely appropriate for deer. Having worked in a game processing plan I've seen similar bullets splash on the ribs. They leave a real mess.

Do yourself a favor, and use a real bullet like the 60gr Nosler Partition.

It remains a Fascinating constant,that them who "do" the LEAST...Whine the MOST. Bless your hearts?!?

Now despite the copious Imagination and Pretend fabricated to the contrary,55gr 'Max's ain't Venison Feel Good Spray. Hint. Read that again. Now one more time...you STUPID Fhuqks. Re-hint.

While the .224" 55gr 'Max is hardly my staple,I've assuredly shot 1000's and 1000's of 'em,despite their not being anywhere near my favorite polymer tipped offering by said Manufacturer(or any other). Though in fairness,bushels of heartbeats have been stopped with their 40,50,55 and 60 versions. That in bolt,gas and lever guns(BLR's in 223 and 22-250),as I've watched the Show,in THE flesh. Re-re-re-hint.

The .224" 60 NPT is a piece of steaming schit and a fhuqking joke at best. Would LOVE to hear a Whining Kchunt proffer,that I've not suffered them in the firsthand. PLEASE!?!. Laughing!

PRETEND that you savvy the picture. Laughing! Then cite the 60NPT. Re-Laughing!!! Then add a pic that's "your's" to the fray,fueled with same. Re-re-Laughing! or perhaps animate an avatar,to keep it "real".



I'm fhuqking crying....I'm laughing sooooooooooooooooo hard.

Now if only to offer the OBVIOUS inklings,regarding mechanical integrity,the Bushy ORC is more than a "touch" compromised in it's issued guise. It's handguard is a POS Delta arrangement and it's Carbine gas,a heavy concession. Those irrefutable constants,are farrrrrrrrrrr heavier maladies in POA/POI Tag Punchings,than the cited ammo nudge. Re-re-re-re-Hint.

I'll feign my "surprise",that noone will be able to submit "bad" 55gr V-Max Terminal Affects Pics in the firsthand,as applied to Venison,despite "all" the "experience" with same.

You Do Nothing Kchunts never don't not deliver.

"Congratulations"?!?

Laughing!

WOW +P+++..............

Boxer never doesn't make tears flow from my eyes.

Too fugkin' funny.

Every time I read a post by Big Stick it warms my heart.

You'd have to be an azzhole of the first order if you keep coming back under different names like your brother Larry Root, and just troll...

Waste of oxygen.

It is the same post......over and over and over and over.....hint....re-hint +p

Repeat as necessary.

And he knows his [bleep] to boot. I dig the entertainment and facts. Never been offended either.

The only thing more entertaining that BS (irony) rambling is the line of dudes waiting to cup his balls for him.

Orrville, I definetely would not use 55g VMAX for deer, way too explosive and are designed to blow up on impact. If all else at least use a soft point bullet, my choice would be a 60gr Partition or a TSX 53,55,60.

who is larry root? Why would anyone insult someone's gun that is brand new?

'flave,

It helps to say things purty,so it sticks.

Prolly a pun there and it be intended..............















'iggle,

Being afforded the luxury of not being forced to guess,ain't nearly as "bad" as it sounds......................(grin)















'495,

Cheer up,you gawddamned nearly almost used the boolit you felt compelled to fhuqking Whine about.

It's always compelling "testimony",when you wax eloquent on all the things you almost did,all the things you nearly did 'em with and all the places you nearly did 'em.

Please do not let the cat get your tongue,nor the couch your kchunt.....................
















'luvr,

Facts only offend Drooling Dumbfhuqks,because Reality reliably collides with Fantasy and makes their Imagination and it's Pretend sting...which is one of Life's curious constants.

And more than a bit handy to remember.

Laughing!....................
















'dreaux,

Bitchin' avatar,sweet plagiarized pic and you were fhuqking NEARLY brazen enough to say sumptin' about boolits...but even someone as fhuqking amazingly STUPID as you,KNOWS better than to try. I wonder why that is?!? Bless your heart. Congratulations?!?

If I take the time to tickle the ivories,you'll sure as schit wanna take notes and apply same,as it will help your game. Hint. Read that again slowly. Now one more time. Re-hint.

Your insecurities are amazingly wellfounded and folks who "do" and "know" as "much" as you,are always going to be best served by asking questions,rather than giving "answers". Here's to the perpetual hilarity of you doing your "best" and your being fhuqking stupid enough to "think" that nothing,is "something".

At least Imagination and Pretend are free,so you can afford to contribute.

You go girl!

I got to laughing soooooooo fhuqking hard,that I nearly forgot pics. 50gr V-Max insertion ala 22-250AI form load. I never can remember and with "all" that you "do",perhaps you can help? Is Woofs wired together as good as Venison? Laughing!



32gr V-Max at 3400fps+ K-Hornet Launch. Just sayin'.



Please spare NO "particulars" on "all" that you "do".

Laughing!.....................















'2506,

How many 55's have you "blown up" out of a 16" Krunchenticker? If only to cheer you up and bolster your Imagination and it's Pretend,I've inserted same into Venison via 4200fps launch ala 26" 22CHeetah. We in da' bidness call that,a not so fhuqking subtle hint. Hint.

You Day Dreaming Dumbfhuqks and your Do Nothing Dumbfhuqkery are a hoot!

"Definetely" Laughing!

Wow +P++!................

I remeber the good old days of the law allowing me the option of involuntary committals. Off to the Nut-Hut.

You have got to be the stupidest sumbich on here.

Big Stick, u have got to be the stupidest sumbich on here. Anyone with 37000+ posts would not have time to do any hunting other than on the internet. Its easy to look up pics and put them on here.
