Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles V-Max vs. Blitzking

Any significant difference between the VM and the BK?

Yep cost.

But now I'm shooting the Z-Max and they shoot just as well and are cheaper than both of the above and just as explosive.

both great bullets. v maxes are usually much cheaper. so i use them most..

Thought I read somewhere that the Zmax has an even thinner jacket than the Vmax. Can't confirm that and never bought any Z's. Vmax have always been accurate and very deadly on yote, fox, and bobcat. Pretty tough on the fur though. The BK's are accurate in my 204 and 223 but can never find them in stock at my local joints and seem to always be on backorder online.

Often times when panic buying is out of the picture, backorders are telling you something about that bullet.....

Given the Vmax is cheaper -

I try both and if the Vmax has as good of accuracy as the BK I use them.

If not I use the BK's - this results in BK's in guns that like bullet weights not available in the Vmax
