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?
While fine for turkey or coyotes this round is far too lite as noted by others for deer (save head shots at close range).
IF your rifle will not shoot 70grn Barnes Triple-Shoks I suggest ya try Barnes 60grn Triple-Shoks or Winchester 64grn PowerPoints as they may be more to liking of your twist rate. (70grn TSX needs a 1/8 or 1/7 twist)
